What Others Say
Good choice for home or small office
Installation was trouble free and simple. . I am using this with a D-Link DGS-2208 8-port switch connected to 2 PCs, 3 Macs, Apple Time Capsule, DroboShare and HP OfficeJet. No problems and great performance.
Fanless Works With Jumbo Frames Great!
This is an excellent switch and fortunately has no fans to fail and make noise. I own several of these and they have been reliable.
Groovy
Works great... good price. What more can I say? (granted I didn't do any super geeky bandwidth testing, but works fine)
works perfect with minor cons
Pros
- low power as advertised - measured the power consumption using kill-a-watt with 2 NAS connected to the switch. The reading was 2 Watt. Swapped the switch to Netgear GS605 (5-port gigabit switch), the reading was 5 Watt. D-link also really does power saving, I disconnect one NAS from the switch, power drops to 1 Watt, and I disconnect the last NAS, power reading drops to 0 Watt. Since I NAS running 24/7, power saving is important as it adds up the cost, I dumped m Netgear gigabit switch and swapped to Dlink
- Plug and Play, Reliable - the thing just worked. I have owning one since Dec 2007, it's been running 24/7 and it does not fail on me yet. I purchased another two recently to expand NAS home network.
This one works
I read all the reviews. Seems everyone has had some problems with all of the gig switches. Some more than others so I purchased three of these because they had the better of all reviews.
So far, they have worked perfectly.
They look nice and stack up well with a little velcro.
