Synology Network Upgrade Module adds 1x 10GbE RJ-45 (E10G22-T1-Mini)

Installed this on my 923+. Installed a PCI 10g ethernet card in my PC. I have a 10g switch that everything is connected to. File transfers are so much faster now on my simple network

I love being able to transfer files at 10Gb with my Synology. Installation was super easy.

A painless way to get 10Gb speeds to your NAS. Went from 110MB/s to 500MBs with 3 drives.

Works as advertised

Not sure why Synology doesn't just include 10 Gb ethernet by default, but this is absolutely worth it if you have a 2.5 or 10 Gb network in your house. Any NAS that has an SSD cache or multiple drives in a RAID will be able to easily saturate a regular 1 Gb ethernet connection. Install this, and you'll notice much faster transfer speeds, especially on reads.If you're not using at least 2.5 Gb ethernet for your NAS, you're missing out on the full bandwidth of your storage. And there's no point in bothering with an SSD cache if you only have 1 Gb ethernet; the spinning rust disks can keep up with that no problem.

Temper your expectations depending on your NAS. I put this in a 1522+ and now get about 600 megabytes per second transfer, which is the maximum speed of the bus / processor. I knew this by reading the white sheet about the NAS to begin with, so no real surprise. With proper bonding and packet management, you could get similar performance from the 4 built in gigabit ports. Note this card fits several other NAS units that may get better benefit.The install is simple once you find a screwdriver that fits the small head, shallow groves, and wide spread. I think I ended up using a #2 Phillips. Power down the NAS, remove the cover plate, install the mini card, replace the screws, turn the NAS back on and resolve the port changes. The whole process took about 30 minutes mostly fixing the port errors in the DSM and upgrading my security certificates.Would I purchase this again? Yes, I don't want to spend a ton of time researching proper channel bonding and packet management. I already own a 5 port 10GbE switch, so one card, one Cat 6a cable, nearly instant good performance.

This was a good upgrade for my new NAS, allowing me to directly connect it to my 10GbE iMac (with static IP addresses on a separate network). Definitely betters the performance over the NAS's default 1GbE (hint: use the Jumbo (9000) MTU frames for the 10Gbase-T speed).Fortunately my CalDigit TS3 Plus was able to pick up the slack of not having to do anything except configure it to do all the 1GbE networking (via a separate ethernet cable) on my everyday MacOS. On the rare occasions when I revert to Mojave though, the TS3 Plus I have now (a replacement for an older one that failed after several years), doesn't support that option so it just uses the iMac's wi-fi. Both perform similarly in my situation so no big deal, though I do prefer hard-wired if at all possible.

TL;DR: Speedy, simple to install, perfect for 1522+, early arrival, pricey, missed initial setup timing, dazzled by 10gbe speeds.Like a knight in shining armor, this gadget swooped in, delivering just the boost my 1522+ needed. Installation was a breeze – it's like this piece of tech was just waiting to click into place, no fuss, no muss. And the speed? It's like jumping from a bicycle to a sports car. The 10gbe speeds are nothing short of exhilarating.But let's address the elephant in the room – the price tag. It's like paying for a gourmet meal when you're used to fast food prices. Yes, it's worth it, but your wallet might need a moment to recover.Adding a twist to the tale, it played hard to get, arriving fashionably late and missing the grand debut at the initial setup. It's like having the perfect dance partner show up after the first few songs.Despite the late entry and the dent in my finances, this upgrade is a game-changer. It's the kind of tech leap that makes you wonder how you ever managed without it. For anyone looking to turbocharge their 1522+, this is your golden ticket – just brace yourself for the price and maybe a bit of a wait.
