8 Port 10Gb RJ45 Web Managed Network Ethernet Switch 8 x 10G Base-T Port | Multi-Gig 10G-5G-2.5G-1G | 19 Inch Rack Mount | Built-in Fan | 160G Bandwidth | 10Gbps for 10G NAS, PC, WiFi7 Router

Despite being managed, ou can just plug it in and it does work. Runs super quiet. Compact in size. With 8 ports running at 10Gb. This has never been a bottle neck in my local network. I had a hard time finding a 10Gb switch that had all ports running at full speed and this fit the bill and fit my budget.

I recently built a NAS, and decided it was time to go to 10 GBE on my LAN. I have a Mac Studio, a home-built PC, and a home built NAS, all with 10GBE interfaces. I also have a 1GBE POE switch that powers 8 Raspberry Pis. a work laptop on a docking station, and all of it connects to a router that handles Internet access. First off - I am reviewing the 8 port 10GBE switch. Out of the box, it will work, but may not be set up ideally for your configuration, especially if you want VLANs. If you want VLANs, you will need to have a bit of knowledge to get started - this switch supports them, but the documentation is sparse - be prepared to do some research if you are planning to set them up. I say that from experience, and you can lock yourself out if you do not know what you are doing. Luckily, there is a reset button, and holding it down for a while (20 -30 seconds, I think) will reset the switch to factory settings. Performance has been as expected, and I have not experienced any performance issues so far. I did get CAT 6A cables - I'm not sure you could get 10GB performance out of CAT 5, even with short cable runs. When researching this switch, I saw mention of it being fanless. I would like to state that this is not the case with this switch. I am happy that it has a fan though - I'm not sure I would trust one that is fanless, given that it does produce a little bit of heat. Noise is acceptable to me (it is set up in my bedroom, along with a NAS that is notably louder), but if you are expecting it to be silent, you may be disappointed. Finally, I wanted to talk about the rack mount brackets. I did not put mine in a rack, but I did mount it vertically on a wood surface. The brackets can be attached for a front mount, bottom mount, or top mount configuration. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but I took advantage of it to mount the switch out of sight.

My order arrived quickly and packed well for the shipping. Everything seems to be working good, I haven't had a chance to really put it through its paces but so far so good.

Did not function as advertized. Could not get tranfer speed up to 400Mbps in any ports. It is advertized as a 10Gb or 10,000Mbps. The software is clunky with no DHCP server. Could be used as a switch but why? It is slower than my other gigabit switches.

So far so good - only a few days in operation - fan can be heard but is not very loud or annoying - switch seems to be doing the job as 2GB network is now running at close to 2GB.

Works pretty ok for what it is, but the web management interface is very mid.

shipped fast and was easy to setup with vlan segmentation. Also no noticeable noise or excessive heat.

defaults to vlan1. nice switch at a good price.
