    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

      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.

    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
