Description
The Synology E10G30-T2 is a professional-grade 10Gbps Ethernet adapter featuring dual RJ-45 ports. Built for high-demand server environments, it supports advanced offloading technologies like TSO, RSS, and SR-IOV to reduce CPU overhead and maximize network efficiency. This card is engineered to handle the rigorous throughput requirements of virtualization, high-resolution video editing, and large-scale backup tasks.
This product is for:
- IT Administrators managing high-traffic virtualization clusters requiring low-latency storage access.
- Creative studios needing fast multi-user access to 4K/8K video assets stored on central NAS units.
- Enterprise data centers implementing Link Aggregation for network redundancy and failover protection.
- Database managers requiring high-throughput connectivity for intensive SQL or NoSQL workloads.
- Small-to-medium businesses upgrading from 1GbE to 10GbE infrastructure using existing copper cabling.
Detailed specifications:
- Host Bus Interface: PCIe 3.0 x8
- Ports: 2 x 10GbE RJ-45

- IEEE Standards: 802.3x (Flow Control), 802.3ad (Link Aggregation), 802.3ab (Gigabit), 802.3an (10Gbps)
- Advanced Features: SR-IOV, RSS, TSO, GSO, LRO, 9KB Jumbo Frame support
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104F)
- Warranty: 5-Year Limited Warranty
Integrating the E10G30-T2 into a compatible Synology NAS significantly reduces file transfer times and improves system responsiveness under heavy concurrent loads. The dual-port design allows for failover protection or combined throughput via Link Aggregation, while the RJ-45 interface ensures compatibility with existing Cat6/6A copper cabling. This makes it a cost-effective alternative to SFP+ fiber setups, allowing for 10Gbps speeds over distances up to 100 meters without specialized transceivers.
Compared to the previous E10G18-T2, the E10G30-T2 offers enhanced support for modern virtualization features like SR-IOV and is optimized for the latest DSM 7.1.1+ environments. While both provide dual 10GbE ports, the E10G30-T2 is the preferred choice for newer FS, SA, and RS series models requiring maximum hardware-level offloading and long-term compatibility with future DSM updates.
Q&A:
- What cable is required for 10Gbps speeds? To achieve full 10Gbps performance, use Cat6 (up to 55m) or Cat6A (up to 100m) copper cables.
- Does it support Link Aggregation? Yes, it supports IEEE 802.3ad for increased bandwidth and network redundancy.
- Is it compatible with DSM 6? No, the E10G30-T2 requires DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 5 or later versions.
- Does it include a low-profile bracket? Yes, both full-height and low-profile brackets are included in the box for flexible installation.
- What is the warranty period? This product is backed by Synology's 5-year limited hardware warranty.
