10GbE Unencrypted Storage Testing
We begin our testing with standard RAID levels that both NAS’s can run using 10GbE networks. We are going to show the charts then discuss after. You will note that the DS1019+ is not shown as it does not support 10GbE networking.
As in our first set of tests, we find the results of 10GbE tests to be close in some tests, within the margin of error. Generally, the Synology DS1618+ came out on top; we attribute this to the DS1618+ using a Mellanox Connectx 3 PCIe 10GbE network expansion card which is a higher end card vs. the TVS-951X and built-in Aquantia AQtion AQC107. In most cases the performance deltas were minor, and they are well above 1GbE speeds, yet one can see the difference in NIC quality having an impact.

As in our first set of tests, we find the results of encryption tests to be close. Generally, it’s a mixed bag of results.
Now that we have tested the TVS-951X with both 1GbE and 10GbE networks let us move on to Qtier and Caching.
Any information on drive temps?
You state you were surprised the 120mm fan was able to cool the machine in testing but I didn’t see any drive temperature readings for the various workflows.
In extended / heavier use cases I wonder if the cooling will be adequate.
What good is this article without a price tag? Haha – I literally don’t know what I should be comparing it to from the likes of Synology or whatnot without it. :)
It’s $699 everywhere online. Maybe check out this new site called Google Shopping?

It’s on sale fairly often for under $600.
If I were to put 9 x 1TB SSD into the drive bays, could I get one RAID 6 storage pool including all of them, or do the 4 x 2.5 slots remain independent?
