The Synology E25G30-F2 is an internal network card with two 25GbE SFP28 ports, designed for select Synology NAS systems. The device increases transfer speeds and throughput on enterprise networks. The PCIe 3.0 ×8 host bus interface is compatible with standard server expansion slots. Its two integrated SFP28 ports operate at speeds of 25Gb/s or 10Gb/s. The card supports both short-range and long-range optical modules, as well as direct attach copper (DAC) cables. It requires DSM version 7.1.1-42962 Update 5 to operate. Jumbo Frame support, ranging from 1.5KB to 9KB, reduces packet reassembly overhead. A larger frame size means fewer interruptions for the processor and a smoother data flow. TCP/UDP checksum offloading frees up computing power for other system tasks. Large database or video file transfers run without unnecessary delay.
The device helps manage intensive data flows in enterprise storage solutions. Combining two ports into a single group increases the total transfer speed to a bidirectional 50Gb/s. This configuration also maintains continuous operation even if one of the lines fails, making the system highly resilient to network path failure.
The card offers broad compatibility with various types of optical and copper cabling. Users can install short-range Optical SR modules or long-range Optical LR modules. Support for direct attach copper (DAC) simplifies connections over shorter distances within a single rack. The choice of a specific transmission medium depends entirely on the requirements of your existing infrastructure.
Hardware acceleration helps to reduce the load on the host system's main processor. Features like TCP Segmentation Offload and Receive Side Scaling efficiently distribute network traffic among the available cores. SR-IOV technology facilitates the direct sharing of physical network resources with virtual machines. The result is smoother application performance and lower overall system latency.
