This video will show you some alternative 10 GbE Network Interface Card (NIC) that is fully compatible with Synology NAS that has a PCI-E Expansion slots. Which includes the following:
What brand cards to buy? What to look for? The model to choose and other considerations that lends flexibility in the long term, for instance, should get a 10 BaseT card that can take RJ-45 patch cable or card with SFP+ connector? Also remember that SFP+ modules cost money. So lot of considerations to make here. Also in what circumstances should you go with a genuine Synology Card.
For this video I used Synology DS1618+ which is a previous generation NAS. The current equivalent drive bays on the market today is DS1621+
The network card that I used is Synology E10M20-T1 which does offer 1 - 10 Base T (Copper CAT 6 or above & RJ-45 connection) along with 2 slots for NVME SSD.
