IG-88 Posted September 24, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) looks like they got tired of waiting for new intel soc's 4x1GbE?, just syno's crap, that soc has a 2x10Gb interface support it's syno family is"v1000" (same as amd's name for the soc class), nothing in 6.2.2 kernel source or tool chain we have from synology would be nice to see 6.2.3 or 7.0 kernel source, tool chain and toolkit (edit: there is 6.2.2 since 10/2020) (btw. in september synology added geminilake 6.2.2 source to its gpl source repository, not that we could make much out of this, only useful might be the new i915 driver they added for geminilake but we already have that driver in 918+ with dsm 6.2.3) there is also a new ds1621+ 6.2.3 *.pat file from 9/2020 in synologys repository (includes the u2 updates already) - so its not a "possible" anymore its already in release will be interesting if they will address hardware transcoding in videostation with that soc (i guess no intel qsv support) Edited November 13, 2020 by IG-88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their list of supported NICs. FFS Synology - you are doing this on fucking purpose - 4 NICs supported. 2 from Synology ($200+) and 1 from Intel ($500 used) and 1 from unknown company. Why would they NOT support Intel X540T2 or X550T2? What the *******. Do you think it's still possible the drivers are baked in for X540T2? I'm in process of buying one to get a bit more stable environment, but this is infuriating. Edited November 13, 2020 by test4321 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IG-88 Posted December 12, 2020 Share #9 Posted December 12, 2020 not sure how i came to 4 x1G ports for the 1621+ but there seem to be 2x1G and 1x10G port, so its not that bad after all maybe synology will have m.2 nvme usable as normal data volume later with 7.0? qnap does support that (and even more) so they need to move or people will not consider them for a new unit anymore, 2 slots in the unit and 2 more as pcie card might be ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

test4321 Posted February 1, 2021 Share #12 Posted February 1, 2021 Taking sweet time for Syno to get these babies into my country. Amazon has bought all of them out and there is no stock available. Hopefully in next few weeks I'll get it. DS1821+ seems like a nice version too and price is not too bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IG-88 Posted February 21, 2021 Share #14 Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) you can consult synologys selector and check what hardware chips they use https://www.synology.com/en-global/compatibility?search_by=products&model=DS1621%2B&category=network_interface_cards&p=1 and hope the card you buy is compatible anough to run (did that with a tehuti card i bought from qnap but did not work with a later bought tehuti card as this card had another phy chip and did not work with the older/limited synology driver) mellanox itself is not listed its also possible to look at the drivers the 1621+ comes with and look insede the *.ko files in question for the supported pcie vendor and device id's 11 hours ago, test4321 said: Brocade 1020 that driver would be bna.ko and thats not present in the 6.2.3 dsm *.pat file but there are mellanox drivers present in the *.pat file looks the same as in 3615/17 the device id's supported from the 1621+ mlx drivers are 15B3:1002 15B3:1003 15B3:1004 15B3:1005 15B3:1006 15B3:1007 15B3:1008 15B3:1009 15B3:100A 15B3:100B 15B3:100C 15B3:100D 15B3:100E 15B3:100F 15B3:1010 15B3:1011 15B3:1012 15B3:1013 15B3:1014 15B3:1015 15B3:1016 15B3:1017 15B3:1018 15B3:1019 15B3:101A 15B3:101B 15B3:101C 15B3:6340 15B3:634A 15B3:6354 15B3:6368 15B3:6372 15B3:6732 15B3:673C 15B3:6746 15B3:6750 15B3:675A 15B3:6764 15B3:676E 15B3:A2D2 15B3:A2D3 if you compare this with mlx's vendor id's for pci https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/15b3 it looks like connectx-3 is supported by the drivers the chips and connectx type are this ConnectX MT254xx ConnectX-2 MT264xx ConnectX-3 MT275xx ConnectX-IB MT276xx ConnectX-4 MT277xx (ConnectX-5 MT278xx, MT288xx) so looks like the card in your link would be ok connecting to a brocade 1020 should be no problem as long as both have sfp+ then dac or optical can be used, if one has sfp+ and the other rj-45 10G the its not that easy Edited February 21, 2021 by IG-88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
