The 1GbE port is most likely the bottleneck. DS718+ and DS918+ would speed up things since it has two LAN ports. Also, DS918+ with an SSD cache would improve things a little further, since all data would be read/written on SSD. But you might need to consider getting DS1618+ which features more LAN ports as well as an option for 10GbE.The VPN hack might help. But there should be no limits up to 30 connections on all plus series NAS.Replacing drives with SSD is an upgrade which will improve thing in every situation, but always think about bottlenecks.I hope this helps.
