Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db/issues/524

The speed of a single M.2 interface on Synology is 700MB/s, and I have confirmed this with both Synology engineers.

So, I think if I use 2 M.2 980pro, I should get 1.4GB/s, but:

However, recent hands-on testing revealed that Synology's dual M.2 drives configured in RAID 0 only achieve a speed of 800MB/s. After reviewing relevant documentation, the final conclusion was that the M.2 storage pool was previously created using the syno_hdd_db script. The SSDs are two SN550 models, both operating at normal speeds with PCIe Gen 3x2 bandwidth—nearly 2GB/s for 10GbE multi-channel. The system is running DSM 7.2.1 Update 4

But now it seems to be restricted, and I don't even know where the read-write speed limitations are set.

I've tried NVMe drives in the internal M.2 slots and in a E10M20-T2 and while the NVMe drives in a E10M20-T2 are able to read at 2400 MB/s via sudo hdparm -tT --direct /dev/nvme0n1 I've never seen speeds faster than 980 MB/s via SMB. I've even tried RAID 0 with 4 NVMe drives.

https://github.com/007revad/Synology_Information_Wiki/blob/main/pages/NVMe-speed.md

It's interesting that the first post in the chiphell thread said the speeds were faster with 7.2.1 update 4.

There is a sequential I/O setting that Synology removed. Enabling this setting on SSD or NVMe caches makes them as fast as they used to be in DSM 6. I wonder if something similar can be done for NVMe drives.

Hi, I have solved this problem, the reason is: SMB SecuritySignature.

Here is some cmd for windows:

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false -EnableSecuritySignature $false
Set-SmbClientConfiguration -EnableMultiChannel $true
# check if SMB3 is enabled
Get-SMBConnection

Before removed signature:

Nice. I'm now seeing 1.10 GB/s writes and 1.16 GB/s reads to and from a single WD Black SN770 500GB in the E10M20-T1.

Strangely I get the best speeds to and from an old SATA Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB in my PC than I do to a Samsung NVMe 970 EVO Plus 500GB.

Sadly my speeds drop off a lot after a short while.
