FAQ
Which Synology NAS models support the E10M20‑T1?
Compatibility varies by model; please consult the Synology compatibility list on their website to ensure your NAS supports this PCIe card.

Yes, the adapter provides the slots only. Choose NVMe SSDs that match your performance and capacity requirements.
Can I use the 10 GbE port for regular network traffic?
Absolutely. The port functions as a standard 10 GbE Ethernet interface, allowing you to connect to any 10 GbE‑capable switch or router.
Will installing this card void my warranty?
No. Installing a Synology‑approved accessory does not affect the NAS warranty, provided the installation follows the official guidelines.
How does cache acceleration improve performance?
Cache SSDs store frequently accessed data, reducing read/write latency on the primary HDD/SSD array and speeding up applications such as virtualization, databases, and media streaming.
