Description
The Synology E10G22-T1-Mini represents a critical performance bridge for compact NAS units, transforming standard gigabit connections into high-speed 10GbE pipelines. Built with a PCIe 3.0 x2 interface, this module fits into specialized expansion slots to provide immediate throughput improvements without increasing the device footprint. It is engineered specifically for Synology systems to ensure maximum reliability and seamless integration with DiskStation Manager (DSM).
This product is for:
- Creative professionals requiring direct 4K video editing capabilities from their NAS storage.
- Small office environments where multiple users concurrently access large databases or shared files.
- Virtualization enthusiasts running multiple virtual machines that demand high-speed I/O throughput.
- Home lab users looking to future-proof their network infrastructure with 2.5G, 5G, or 10G speeds.
- Backup administrators needing to reduce the time required for large-scale data synchronization and off-site replication.
Detailed specifications:
- Host Bus Interface: PCIe 3.0 x2

- Features: 9 KB Jumbo Frame, TCP/UDP/IP Checksum Offload, RSS, TSO, LSO, GRO, GSO
- Dimensions: 26.37 mm x 45.38 mm x 75.7 mm
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Integrating the E10G22-T1-Mini into a Synology ecosystem is a streamlined process, as the module is recognized natively by DSM. Users experience a significant reduction in latency during file indexing and massive speed gains when transferring multi-gigabyte files. This upgrade effectively maximizes the potential of NVMe SSD caches and high-performance HDD arrays, ensuring that the network interface is never the weakest link in the data workflow.
Unlike standard SFP+ modules that require specialized transceivers or Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables, the E10G22-T1-Mini utilizes standard RJ45 connectors. This allows for backward compatibility with existing Cat5e and Cat6 cabling at lower speeds, while reaching full 10GbE performance on Cat6a or better. This makes it a more cost-effective and flexible solution for most office environments compared to fiber-based alternatives, as it leverages common copper-based networking infrastructure.
