Synology Adding the following annotations
"We limit DS1815+ internal SiI3132 port to 1.5Gbps to avoid ata error"
"Enhance DX510 compatibility, limit the speed to 1.5 GBPS"

so many Synology models limit SATA speed , but they won't tell you ...
still use false advertising selling Synology products ...
Synology announcement about limited SATA speed? I do not think so...

I guess they can limit any their products SATA speed without any announcement ... if they want ...

in DS1815+ PDF SPEC is "SATA v2 x 8" ,but they "limit DS1815+ internal SiI3132 port to 1.5Gbps", 1.5Gbps is SATA v1!

we use SSD x 8 on DS1815+

1."hdparm -t /dev/sdx" test read speed you can check image here https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxJfppJuBMy4TnNrVGp0MXNuM2c
2."dd" to test write speed you can check video here
3."smartctl -a /dev/sdx" will see two "1.5 Gb/s" you can check image here https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxJfppJuBMy4eXozcmVoZUdITjg
4.use DSM ui create all as single disk and copy file from slot 1 to slot 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ,will see very differen speed in slot 7-8
5.create any RAID5/6/10 as two group 1-4 and 5-8, and group 5-8 speed is always slower then 1-4.

we don't want use patch,because when you update DSM the patch will invalid,Synology not show any info about buy DS1815+ need use patch to open SATA v2 speed.
we've already tested patch,is not helpful for slot 7-8 speed.
we've already contacted synology support before we to raise a legal plaintto sue.

Is this behavior illegal in your country ?
