GigaPlus 5-Port 10Gb Ethernet Switch Unmanaged with 5x10G RJ45 Ports, 10Gbe Network Switch Easy for 10G NAS, PC, WiFi7 Routers, 10G NIC/Adapters. 100Gbps Switching Capacity. 19-inch Rack Mounting

Switch worked great for 3 months, then the fan started running VERY loudly at all times. Possibly something broke internally. Hoping customer service will help and I can remove this review. Switching to 5 star review because customer service handled the issue after some cajoling, and because it worked very well until this issue.

This switch is awesome! To be honest, I only have Gig Internet, so I bought this to be ready for the near future. It doesn't need any management, it just does it's thing and works well. I was actually have some issues with my desktop losing bandwidth going up and down to the point I had to reboot the Ethernet drivers all the time. Since I added this switch, I haven't had any of those issues! If you're looking for this type of small device that has some power without a lot of hassle of managing it, then I highly recommend it.

I hope that someone will contact me with an option to correct my issue so I can update this review.... the first 3 months of use perfect operation .. then a few days ago the cooling fan just started making a terrible rattling noise. For the money spent on this I would expect more lifespan on the fan.

This is a basic ethernet switch. While functional, the fatal flaw is the super loud fan. It runs full speed all the time and has a high pitched wine. It is not appropriate for any environment other than a noisy data center where you must wear hearing protection. Don't get this for the office. The noise will drive you mad. I'm not sure why they chose such a ridiculously loud fan, there are plenty of inexpensive fans that are reliable and near silent. Maybe they saved a few pennies on a $200 device. That is a bad trade off. It does not even move much air.

Nice and fast delivery and love the product.

Plug and play! Fast and priced competitively. Awesome performance that's well built. The only complaint is the fan noise being loud.

Good switch, does what it says. Gets hot so give it space.

Edit. Less than three weeks of use. From 2 star to one. Posted 8 seconds of the switch. Crackling fan noises. It’s loud. Either buyer-beware or Opt in for the warranty cost, cause you’re gonna need it. I think the thing is about to fail //original post. Brand new. Do not recommend for the following reasons. 1) Only getting 5GBps when I know and tested in other devices 10gbps right cables etc. 2) Brand new and fan is louder than expected. My other 5gps switch is silent. So if you have a sensitive mic you’ll have to readjust your mic settings! Sticking with my Netgear.

So far, the switch works really well, no more bandwidth issue running at 10gbps! For the price it is amazing. The fan however is kind of noisy. My office is really silent and the fan is very audible. It's a small diameter fan so it's more noticeable than if it was a larger fan. May eventually decide to open the switch and replace the fan with one with lower dB.

Used only for one day very noisy you can not sleep in your bedroom if it is running.

Arrived DOA - very unfortunate. I'm going to try to replace it once more, then I'll just give up on this brand all together. UPDATE: I ordered and received a 2nd unit. The 2nd one worked, however it doesn't appear 10Gb capable. Max speed appears to be 1-2.5Gb even though link negotiation appears to hit 10Gb. NOTES about how I tested - I isolated the environment, and used PCIe 5.0 based storage on modern CPUs with *known working* 10GbE NIC's and then again with a storage array with known working and performing 10GbE interfaces on it. Initial tests were in a virtualized environment. Follow up tests were done on bare metal using both Linux and Windows to minimize the possibility that it was a software issue. I have not contacted support yet, but intend to do so to hear what they have to say about the switch. It is possible that this 2nd unit is defective in some way.

Works as intended. Not much more to say. 10GB switch
