SYNOLOGY Ethernet Adapter E10m20-t1 M.2 SSD & 10gbe Combo Adapter Card Pci-e 3.0

The Synology E10M20-T1 is a PCIe interface card for Synology NAS and storage servers that combines 10GbE network connectivity and dual M.2 NVMe SSD cache in a single expansion slot. It supports up to 10 Gbps Multi-Gig Ethernet and two M.2 2280/22110 NVMe SSDs for cache acceleration, while its compact design and passive cooling free up primary drive bays for data storage.

Advantages

The card increases network bandwidth to 10 Gbps and improves random I/O performance by enabling NVMe cache on two M.2 slots. Its use of a single PCIe slot simplifies installation and preserves drive bays for capacity. Passive cooling reduces noise and mechanical complexity, and the adapter is compatible with Synology SNV3000 series SSDs for optimized endurance and reliability.

Suitable for

• Upgrading Synology NAS for higher network throughput (10GbE)
• Adding NVMe cache to accelerate random I/O workloads
• Preserving drive bays while expanding performance
• Use in compatible Synology models such as SA3600, SA3400, DS3622xs+ and others

Key specifications

• Interface: PCIe (internal)
• Network speed: up to 10 Gbps Multi-Gig Ethernet
• M.2 support: dual M.2 2280/22110 NVMe SSD slots for cache
• Cooling: passive
• Colour: black
• Dimensions: 200.1 mm x 17.7 mm x 71.8 mm

How to use

Install the E10M20-T1 into an available PCIe expansion slot on a compatible Synology NAS following the NAS hardware installation guide. Insert up to two M.2 NVMe SSDs into the M.2 2280/22110 slots if cache acceleration is required, and connect the NAS to your network to enable 10GbE speeds. Configure SSD cache and network settings via Synology DSM according to workload needs.

Recommendations

For best results, pair the E10M20-T1 with Synology SNV3000 series NVMe SSDs to leverage enterprise-grade endurance and performance; ensure your NAS model supports the card and update DSM to the latest version before configuration.
