![]() Like any Synology hardware upgrade, no additional drivers were needed outside of installing DSM 7.1 already, so the E10G22-T1-mini PCIe upgrade is immediately recognized and useable. Note – I know in the photo below and gif above I have not put the two screws in, don’t worry, as these images were taken after the tests and all parts were tightly in place during the tests. You need to ensure the system is powered down to install this, as it is a PCIe-connected upgrade and therefore does not support any kind of hot-plug/hot-swapping of any kind without damaging the system. First things first, I installed the E10G22-T1-mini adapter. ![]() ![]() The first thing we should establish is how the Synology DS923+ NAS was set up for our 10GbE performance testing. The NAS Setup for my Synology DS923+ NAS Test Sonnet Solo 10G 10GbE to Thunderbolt 3 Adapter – HERE on Amazon Synology SNV3400-400G M.2 NVMes – HERE on Amazon Synology E10G22-T1-MINI Network Adapter – HERE on Amazon Synology HAT5300-16T Hard Drives – HERE on Amazon Note – M.2 NVMe SSD Bays as Storage Pools Confirmed (images of use and storage options) are detailed here in a newer post – Hardware I used in this test and where to buy it: Interested in how the DS923+ NAS performed with 2x M.2 NVMe SSDs in a RAID Storage Pool Performed? Find my MASSIVE Speed Test article HERE – Do remember that these are synthetic tests and therefore, the results found in your own individual setup or using a specific piece of file transmission or editing software will likely differ. So, today I have set up the DS923+ NAS, fully populated it with Synology’s own branded storage media, set up a direct 10GBASE-T/Copper connection with a Windows PC and I am going to run some performance tests using popular benchmark software ATTO Disk Benchmark, AJA Speed Test and Black Magic Speed Test. Now, this additional modular upgrade will cost you an additional $139-149 (more in some locations once you factor in local tax and logistics), as well as some user questioning whether four SATA bays that are populated with NAS hard drives can actually saturate (fill) the whole 1 Gigabyte external connection. However, on big, BIG improvement in the new DS923+ over it’s predecessors is that this is the first 4-Bay NAS from the brand that have the option to scale it’s network connectivity from to 10GbE! This optional upgrade, using the Synology E10G22-T1 Network Upgrade module opens up the single point of external connectivity of this rather compact NAS from 1Gb/109MB/s (technically 2GbE with 2x1GbE via LAG) to 10GbE, or 1,000MB/s+. When Synology changed the long-standing inclusion of an Intel CPU in this product series to an AND Embedded Ryzen, many users were a little confused about it’s hardware. The release of the Synology DS923+ NAS has definitely set a cat among the pigeons when it comes to the home vs business community. Note that this hard-drive was already connected to my MacBook Pro Retina for a few hours now and I had been working on files inside.9.2 Related Performance Tests of the Synology DS923+ NAS and E10G22-T1 10GbE Upgrade
