The problem is that if I turn on my Mac mini M1 it defaults to connect to the built in Ethernet connection and does not use the High Speed 10GB connection to my Synology NAS. This high speed 10 GB interface is connected to the Thunderbolt 3 port on the Mac mini M1 and is directly connected to a 10 GB port on my Synology NAS. The second network interface is a Digitech Thunderbolt 3 10GB high speed adapter and it is named "Thunderbolt Ethernet Slot 1". One is named "Ethernet" and its the built in Ethernet adapter on the Mac mini M1. I have 2 interfaces connected to my Mac mini M1. Hello I read your helpful articles but still can't fix my problem. I also use a similar procedure on my dual 10GbE 2019 Mac Pro.

I have use this procedure successfully using a Qnap NAS 10GbE port > 10 GbE to TB adapter > MacBook Pro TB port. This should provide you a direct 10GbE connection between your NAS and the Mac Mini M1 for accessing NAS shares and provide a 1GbE connection for accessing the internet.
Drag the NAS share icon from the desktop to the Login Items list.

Select to store the NAS share password in your Keychain file. Select the NAS share from the popup & enter NAS share User ID & Password.

x in the step 2 & 3 should be the same but y and z should be different, e.g.On the Synology set its 10GbE IP address to a non routable (self assigned) static IP address in the .z range.

On windows you just create a shortcut to the IP address of the high speed interface and another shortcut to the slower 1GB Ethernet internet connection and then you can choose which connection you would like to use. Its annoying to have to always unplug the 1 GB Ethernet internet interface every time I reboot or restart. After reconnecting I can then again plug in the 1 GB ethernet cable and all is well. If I reboot or restart the Mac Mini defaults to the 1GB Ethernet internet interface and the only way to fix it is to disconnect the 1 GB Ethernet cable, open a few files on the NAS using only the 10GB interface. I want to edit the videos directly on the NASĪfter some fooling around I finally got it to connect over the Thunderbolt interface and have write speeds of 580 MB/s and Read speeds of 1002 MB/s which is fantastic. I want to use it for video editing so I purchased CalDigit Connect 10 GB Thunderbolt 3 to Ethernet adapter to connect to my Synology NAS device. I purchased a new Mac Mini with 16 GB and a 1 TB drive.
