Just a friendly hint, that you can ask your question in french in that section of the forum

The r8168 *is* capable of 1G, so it might be a driver problem if it insists on only 100M. I have seen it once due to HW problems, with a switch that failed the speed auto-negotion process because of a cable that was "close but no cigar" After disabling the C1E, your internal NIC (tg3), should be capable to connect with 1G. If you have an extra cable/port, try to connect both NIC's and see what happens. If you SSH into your NAS, and issue these commands, you will see more info: admin@N36L:/$ ethtool eth0 admin@N36L:/$ ethtool eth1 My testbox, using the internal NIC: admin@N36L:/$ ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: No Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on MDI-X: off Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: Operation not permitted Current message level: 0x000000ff (255) drv probe link timer ifdown ifup rx_err tx_err Link detected: yes

2 (3) questions: Why is your Realtek NIC limited to 100Mb? Did you try connecting to the Intel NIC? Have you disabled C1E (power state) in the BIOS?

Good for you, then you can take "your business" in the official Synology channels👍 There I expect you to get less "stupid comments without any support". Whats the point "of all this talk" you ask. This community/website is aimed towards us who like to play around with non-genuine HW, and support that as a group. To be able to do so, some questions has to be asked, when the needed background info is not supplied. If you had been bothered to include your NAS model and exactly what build and update number caused your problems, and any logs from it, you could have been getting less "nonsense talk" and faster help to sort out the delta's. btw: even on your genuine HW, running genuine SW, your preferred choise of RAID has never been marketed or officially supported by Synology, just saying...

No, they have never included it as officially supported, and you try to use it on non-officially supported hardware. If you had posted some details on how your system is buildt and configured, togehther with some screenshots or log's from your "punishment" someome might have been able to help you to sort it out. Since you don't "support" Synology and their choices for DSM, maybe you should try out Unraid or "roll your own build" based on your preferred choise of OS?

Good for you👍 So in other words this topic is nonsense, and there is no "punishment" involved?

Let me repost the part of my quote you failed to read: It's not a personal opinion/statement, its a quote. I'm not trying to pick a fight, sorry if you got that impression, it not even a pi$$ing contest. Just genuinly curios of how/why RAID-4 is the "best" solution *for you*, and why you accuse Synology for punishing you by not unofficially supporting a RAID level they never even supported officially. Peace out.

I bow to your knowledge, and well documented sources🙏

Of your "punishment" .

Screenshot?

For the sake of argument: How did you reach that conclusion? Someone else made a statement like this:

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but even though mdadm is beeing used by DSM "in the background", RAID-4 has never been promoted as an "official supported feature" by Synology. There may be other "limitations" in the official DSM builds compared to a "full packaged Linux system", without it beeing related to "marketing reasons" as you claim, just saying...

Read this, digest what you read and, come back and ask spesific questions if something is unclear. Fast track: Download the latest loader here and create a bootable USB. Boot the USB, click a number of "Enter", reboot and enjoy.

Hmm, when did Synology support RAID-4 ? It was supposedly not supported in either DSM 6.2 or 7.2? https://kb.synology.com/en-global/DSM/help/DSM/StorageManager/storage_pool_what_is_raid?version=6
