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

Product Information

Based on internal processor benchmarks between DS923+ and the prior-gen DS920+. Actual performance may vary depending on hardware and software configuration, workload, and testing environment. Since 2021, almost all new home and small business NAS servers from Synology have used AMD chips. This trend is likely to continue. DSM 7.1 out of the box We ran tests using a cheap 2.5GbE PCIe adapter and achieved read speeds of 300Mb/s with only a single HDD in the NAS with a Crucial NVMe SSD. With a 10GbE performance, more than 650MB/s is possible, but it requires that the host system is running NVMe storage to deliver the read and write performance needed at that end. Final verdict Sadly, the DS1522+ is strong evidence that Synology refuses to accept where this market is already going, and the sort of NAS customers want to buy now and in the future. Synology has been promising SMB Multi-channel as part of DSM for some time, and it was supposed to be in DSM 7.1.

For our testing, we configured the Synology DiskStation DS1522+ in RAID6 using five 16TB Synology HDDs. We also leveraged two Synology SNV3400 M.2 SSDs for testing with read and write cache enabled. Enterprise Synthetic Workload Analysis Storage figure calculated based on a RAID 5 configuration. Total storage capacity may vary depending on hard drives used and RAID configuration. The DS1517+ offered a PCIe slot to add supported NICs, although M.2 cache slots were not onboard the NAS. The DS1520+ added M.2 cache slots but skipped over network expansion options. That said, it is nice to finally have both on the model finally, but it would be even nicer if it was from the factory.Installation on systems that support the E10G22-T1-Mini seems to be incredibly straightforward, with just two screws covering the bay and the module simply sliding into the slot. However, it is worth remembering that, as this is connected to the main board over PCIe, you will almost certainly be required to power the device down when installing (i.e not hot-swap/plugging).

Next up is 4K max latency, where the DS1522+ recorded 2824ms read 2805ms and write in SMB and 4045.3ms read and 913.042ms write in iSCSI HDD performance. With cache enabled, we saw latency drop to 665ms read and 199ms write in SMB and 66.52ms read and 102.29ms in iSCSI.

For this review, I've used the DS1522+ for a week -- I will continue to use mine for years to come -- and the sever performed as expected. Synology SNV3400 series M.2 NVMe SSD drives can be installed through the built-in M.2 slots to enable SSD caching or create SSD storage pools. Drives are sold separately. In return, AMD CPUs generally don't have a built-in graphic processing unit (GPU) resulting in the fact they are not as good as Intel chips in handling video streaming -- there's no hardware support for 4K transcoding.

For those wanting the best connection speed to a single host system, the only choice is to get the E10G22-T1-Mini and a PCIe adapter to connect the two. You can also use the four 1GbE lines to connect the rest of the network to the NAS and aggregate them if you have a suitable switch.For networking, it comes with four 1GbE LAN ports (sadly no multi-gig) with network failover support and is quoted to deliver up to 736MB/s sequential read and 796MB/s sequential write with the mini 10GbE network module installed.

I've owned and I'm still using/managing many DS15xx+ servers, including DS1511+, DS1513, DS1515+, and DS1517+ in various capacities. I skipped the DS1520+ upon finding out it was similar to the DS1019+, which I have also been using. These apps and features are generally available across Synology servers that run DSM 7. These are just some examples. There are more than 100 official apps and many more from third parties. Moving on to standard deviation results, the DS1522+ posted 24.95ms to 658.1ms in SMB and 16ms to 338.23ms in iSCSI for our HDD configuration. When cache was enabled, the DiskStation showed 6.23ms to 72.96ms (SMB) and 32.62ms to 398.31ms (iSCSI). During our 8K sequential throughput tests, we saw 32,287 IOPS read and 21,668 IOPS write in SMB and 104197 IOPS read and 55,459 IOPS write in iSCSI for HDDs. With cache enabled, SMB showed 32,376 IOPS read and 21,760 IOPS write, while iSCSI recorded 103,899 IOPS read and 48,328 IOPS write.Synology has the best NAS OS, probably one of the most polished app selections and makes some sturdy equipment. The familiar tool-free design: Each drive tray has two latches to keep the hard drive in place. You can assemble a 3.5-inch (desktop) drive to the server without a tool. A Synology server will not recognize any supported add-on hardware until after its operating system has been installed. The upgrade process is much faster than the case of the DS1517+ (right) or any server with a PCIe slot, where you'd have to open up the server's case for the job.
