    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: It just works. Gigabit speeds, classy exterior, lightweight, has holes on the bottom for wall mounting.

    Weaknesses:Power adapter angled to the side so you have to plug it in at the end of your surge protector / power strip.

    Overall Evaluation: If you are building a simple gigabit network in your home or small business, this switch is for you. It simply works, just plug your router and computers into the back and you have a nice speedy network with internet connectivity at a relatively inexpensive price. So far I've had no problems with connectivity or speed between desktops. One nice touch is the different lights for varying speeds on each port. Another is that the wall-mounting angle they use is able to position the switch either horizontally or vertically. My only negative is that the power adapter was oddly shaped and angled toward the side so you can only plug it in at the ends of your surge protector / power strip.Overall I highly recommend this product. It's stable, very easy to work with, and it makes home networking much easier.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Plug it in and go....

    Weaknesses:None

    Overall Evaluation: There isn't much else to say than plug in the power, plug in the ethernet cables and you are connected. I have a Gigabit LAN connection on my desktop and it was instantly connected at 1000mbp when I installed the switch. Running constant for one month, no restarts and no dropped connections. Supports jumbo and Qos, different LED colors for connection speed, but they are hard to see from a distance.

    Duration of ownership: 90 Days

    Strengths: Relative small foot print, ease of setup and supports Jumbo frames.

    Weaknesses:Power supply is large.

    Overall Evaluation: Purchased the switch when I setup my 2 TB network attached storage (NAS). Jumbo frame support was paramount for large data (excess of 75 MB) transfers. Supports my 1 Gb systems as well as my older 100Mb connections without a problenm. Very easy to configure and looks nice with it's various colored status lights.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: No set up, looks good, fast

    Weaknesses:no up-link port

    Overall Evaluation: This is a great switch. The switch works as advertised and it's a quick way to bring gigabit speeds to your network. I have had it working for about a week and have not found anything wrong with it. I especially like the way it looks it can easily fit in with other electronic components and will not leave the room it is placed in looking like a data center room. The only down side is that there is no up-link port so if you connect this to a router you have to use one of the 8 ports not a big deal but it might be something to consider. Overall this a great product.
