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....
- Jan 18, 2022Thanks 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

This seems somewhat to low. 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.
