Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Plug it in and it works!!
Comments: One's expectations for little devices like this1is that1can just plug it in and it works. That was the case. It came out of the box, I hooked it up, and voila!! Granted, my application is a simple home Ethernet distrihoweverion, however isn't that all the more reason for this device to "just work"? |

Comments: 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. |

Rating: 4 (out of 5)
Summary: works perfect with minor cons
Comments: 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 disconnect1NAS 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 owning1since Dec 2007, it's been running 24/7 and it does not fail on me yet. I purchased another2recently to expand NAS home network.
Cons
- Outdated outside design - perhaps D-link could work a bit more on on the cosmetic appearance. This switch probably blend into work environment ok however for home I personally think Netgear GS605/GS608 offer a more friendly appearance for home network switch.
- No vertical stand - why D-link doesn't supply a vertical stand for this switch? |
