TRENDnet 9-Port Unmanaged 2.5G Switch with 10G SFP+ Port, TEG-S5091, 8 x 2.5GBASE-T Ports, 60Gbps Switching Capacity, Fanless, Wall Mountable, Black 8 Port 2.5G + 1 Port 10G SFP

I got this particular version (version v2.0R) of the switch as I was made aware that it consumes less power than the previous versions. The only place to get a switch like this is to import it from America so I purchased from Amazon US and it took about a week to arrive. The power supply that came with it obviously has the American plug prongs on it but it is easily replace by ones that fit in the desktop Netgear switches (which I happened to have a few). It was just a case of plug and play and then my NAS and my Mac Mini could communicate at the faster 2.5Gb to the rest of my devices. It works well and while it does feel a little warm while in use, it was nothing to be concerned about.

good value

dont know what is "gaming" about it. gives proper 2.5Gbps per port, keeps barely warm, silent.

Although 2.5G switches are still a bit expensive, this one is priced well and is works great with no issues. Testing the throughput showed the full 2.5G with no dips or drops. It up/down links to other switches fine. There is no hum or coil whine. It only gets slightly warm, not anywhere near as hot as a cable gateway or Wifi router. The construction is solid with a metal housing and both mounting holes and rubber feet on the bottom. There are no flashy colors or logos. One thing I particularly like is that the network, LED, and power plug are on the same side. Cheaper switches have the power plug on the front, which would making cabling look messy. 9/10

Have been using it for two (2) years now, and have not had any problems whatsoever. Make sure it has proper ventilation, however. Recommend.
