Suppose I buy a Synology DS1621+ with a Synology E10G18-T1 (10GbE Network Interface Card), and I connect them to my with a Netgear GC728X switch’s 10GB Fiber Ports via a Netgear AXC7620: SFP+ Direct Attach cable. Will other 1 GB port devices (PC, Zappiti Media Player, etc.) connected to the Netgear GC728X switch’s 1GB Ports via CAT 6 or 7 cables experience any throughput performance gain when interfacing with the NAS?
I doubt it...
I'd check with 1 Cat6a (SFTP) and 1 Cat7 SFTP cable, if there is any noticable diffrence in performance (i doubt it), between NAS and Device.
But there will be only 1GB (minus overhead, Diskperformance and NAS-Performance and switchperformance) of traffic on the 1GB-Side per port and device at best... you will never see the full "Spec" performance, but you can go near it - question is, what is it worth on the moneyside...? (few MB or even just KB vs. xx or xxx CHF).
Not at a single IP pipe. In this scenario, the summary Throughput of all connected devices could bee as high, as the 10Gb connection could work. That speed depends on the effective quality of the 10Gb adapters. Do not use the original Synology adapter, use a compatible Intel-Adapter for best performance values. Measue with parkdale.
