E10G30-T2 Synology 10G PCIe 3.0 x8 Ethernet Network Card

High-Performance PCIe 3.0 Dual-Port 10GbE BASE-T NIC for Storage and Virtualization Uplinks with the E10G30-T2

The E10G30-T2 is a dual-port 10GbE RJ45 network interface card designed to remove network bottlenecks in NAS and server environments where iSCSI, NFS, and SMB traffic must scale predictably. Installed in a PCIe 3.0 x8 low-profile slot, the E10G30-T2 delivers sufficient host bandwidth for sustained 10GbE operation while maintaining compatibility with dense rack deployments and standard copper cabling infrastructures.

For virtualization platforms, the E10G30-T2 supports SR-IOV and multi-queue scaling via RSS to increase throughput and reduce CPU contention under parallel VM or container traffic. Hardware offload capabilities such as TSO/GSO/LRO help optimize packet processing paths, improving efficiency during large sequential transfers and backup windows. With support for 10GbE and 1GbE speed profiles, the E10G30-T2 enables phased network upgrades without forcing immediate switching or cabling changes.

Why Choose the E10G30-T2?

The E10G30-T2 provides a practical density-to-performance profile by adding 2 independent 10GbE ports in a low-profile PCIe 3.0 form factor, aligning well with storage nodes, hypervisors, and edge servers that require predictable throughput and failover options. The E10G30-T2 also enables LACP link aggregation to combine bandwidth and improve resiliency, supporting enterprise deployment patterns where maintenance windows and redundancy planning are mandatory.

Synology engineering emphasizes stable interoperability and data-centre-ready operation, aligning the adapter with common IEEE Ethernet standards and controlled driver behavior for long-running services. This focus supports consistent performance under continuous storage replication, backup, and east-west traffic patterns across modern rack environments.

Key Applications:

• NAS 10GbE uplinks for iSCSI/NFS/SMB
• Virtualization hosts with SR-IOV networking
• LACP link aggregation and redundant uplinks
• Backup, replication, and large file transfer networks
