Nice, inexpensive gigabit switch

Compared to other inexpensive 5-port and 8-port gigabit ethernet switches out there, this one looks great, and has a small, light and energy-efficient switching-mode power supply (a nice touch). It is trivial to set up (it's an unmanaged switch... there's nothing to configure).

works fine unless loaded

I have this connected to my main gaming PC, home server and TiVo. Should be fine if you are not transferring large files often but if you are I would get a metal chasis switch which will help reduce overheating
Pros:
  • works great with good transer speeds when using gigabit devices
  • Can be mounted on a wall or upright in 2 different ways
Cons:
  • every few months this switch locks up and stops working
  • I suspect the device is overheating as it will work again if you switch it off for a few minutes
