You’re clearly not in the market scavenging, this is nothing impressive… Maybe if it was managed for the $100 then …
I see you gave us the price you’d tell your SO you paid. $130 is not quite $100
Holding out for managed ones coming in the new year.
idk man 2.5G always felt like HD-DVD. Gotta go blu-ray, man
Im going laser disk for my network!
You want us to move to a proprietary solution? Smh
I mean I think 2.5g is just becoming the new 1g. my last two motherboards have had 2.5g, Nas hardware is coming with 2.5g standard now, the last usb ethernet dongle I got for my laptop I got 2.5g for a few quid extra. At that point all I need is a switch and I have a free network upgrade. But I do agree with you - if 1g is too slow, more than likely 2.5g is as well, so it’s straight to 10g and beyond.
I have a 10Gb connection but for the moment I will run 2.5Gb for all devices.
I will migrated to 10Gb when switches are around $100.
Dont do it. Its a chinaman switch.
The other option is Chinaman with an American sticker?
TAA Compliant Switch only.
when you get to the big leagues, you clowns will see why TAA Compliance is important.
Should be legit. I ordered the same one a couple of days ago. Still have to test it out
It’s great but it’s unmanaged so for me that’s not ideal. STH has a bunch of reviews on units similar to this but all are unmanaged
everyone in here has a gucci poweredge or proliant but when it comes to networking they’ll buy a potmetal switch made by a child slave in bangladesh and call it a day if it has 2.5g connections
If you’re looking for managed 2.5/PoE, FS has you covered for about $350
I don’t think it’s that far-fetched. Plus, it’s amazon. You can return it if you’re not happy with it
Ah yes from the known and trusted “Davuaz”
Unmanaged. Not much use.
Likely comes pre-rooted for free too! 🫠
For about $300, you can also get the Netgear MS108EUP
There was even cheaper options linked in this sub yesterday… including ones with 10G uplinks, and 8x 2.5G ports.
