They are basically temp files from the cifs filesystem

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a strange file that is being left in my terastation. They are named cifs1adsb. It starts with cifs, followed by a single number and then four letters. They seem to be the same size as what should be in its place, so I am guessing that they are incomplete files. Like a part file when you download a zip file from Mozilla Firefox.<br />
<br />
The files stored are coming from, mainly, Unix OS boxes but in some cases from a Windows OS.<br />
<br />
I know what cifs stand for and resemble I just want to ensure I am getting it right. I want to delete these files off the terastation. <br />
<br />
The answer I am looking for is a explanation to what they are and where they come from.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all that reply.<br />

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
