GS110MX 10G Port Cat8 Direct line to Synology DS220+ 100MBps
GS110MX 10G Port with Cat8 Direct line to Synology DS220+ is writing at 10MBps and reading at 110MBps using the Blackmagic Speed test...Took 9 minutes to transfer a 252MB file from a new M1 Mac Mini....
- Thanks for the speedy reply…my misunderstanding about 1G and 10G connections…after some research into the Synology DS220+ says it is maxed out at ~100mbps regardless the Ethernet connection

The M1 Mac Mini does come with either a Gigabit Ethernet port, or for some 100 USD more with a 10G Ethernet port.
As you say it's connected to the GS110MX Port #8, we understand it's about a Gigabit Ethernet link only (both ends).
CAT8 ... considering most CAT 8 patch cables come either with some CAT6A connectors, or will be very expensive. Either way, for a Gigabit Ethernet link all you need is a fully equipped (eight strands, four pairs) CAT5A. Anything above does not make a better or faster connection.

The Syno DS220+ comes with two Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports. Port 9 on the GS110MX reads like an overkill as this is a 10G/MultiGig port.

Under normal conditions, one could expect something in the range of 95..110 MB/s write, too. Permitting the RAID is in sync, both HDDs are healthy and error-free and not require massive error correction on write, standard MTU, SMB packet signing disabled.
Is this what you would hope to see, or do you have much higher expectations?

Key factor for the NAS performance is the data - many small files transfer much lower than large bricks. A NAS with a similar processor and hardware design, does easily max-out two LAGed GbE links (say to some 92 or 93% due to protocol overhead), with a RAID5 and four fast HDDs. Optionally equipped with a 10GbE adapter can reach more. The key is the number of storage blocks (at least four, ideally paired [for NAS usage, not for backup usage of course] with massive SSD caches. Granted, a simple RAID1 does bring the performance to what a single HDD can handle. And except for "cache" applications operating a NAS without redundancy is a little bit risky.
