SMC EZ Switch GS16 16-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Unmanaged Switch (SMCGS16) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this to replace an older 8 port SMC switch which I've had in my home for over 5 years. This unit has 16 ports of 10/100/1000 and an internal power supply (no wall wart). There is no fan in the device which means that it is completely silent (great for home). There is no configuration or management of the device so it is entirely plug and play.

TRENDnet 8-Port Unmanaged Gigabit GREENnet Standard Switch (8 x 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation, Auto-MDIX Gigabit Ethernet Ports) TEG-S80G (Black Metal) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Recently we have installed network storage devices, and started to run backups and multi-media services on our home LAN (local area network). As a result the load on our network increased substantially. We decided to upgrade from fast ethernet to gigabit. Due to the arrangement of devices, we have several 8 port switches connected to a larger 24 bit switch which I guess is the backbone of our LAN.
When shopping for gigabit switches, the Trendnet 8 port gigabit greennet switch came up as not only a low cost, but also a low power switch. We purchased several and have been using them for almost half a year.
These switches are silent (there is no fan), and very low power (on my Killowatt meter they always show 0 watts), and very fast. They have limited support for jumbo packets (I forget the exact number, but its around a jumbo packet size of 7-9K).
This is a good solution as a low power, silent, gigabit switch that runs cool and is low cost. The switch is unmanaged, but does have status indicator lights. You will see if you are getting fast ethernet or gigabit speeds on each port. We have had no trouble with these switches.
