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

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
Should be legit. I ordered the same one a couple of days ago. Still have to test it out
Ah yes from the known and trusted “Davuaz”
There was even cheaper options linked in this sub yesterday.... including ones with 10G uplinks, and 8x 2.5G ports.
Unmanaged. Not much use.
Dont do it. Its a chinaman switch.
The other option is Chinaman with an American sticker?
TAA Compliant Switch only.
when you get to the big leagues, you clowns will see why TAA Compliance is important.
For about $300, you can also get the Netgear MS108EUP
I don't think it's that far-fetched. Plus, it's amazon. You can return it if you're not happy with it
if you're going to buy a no name switch, at least get a better one... https://www.amazon.com/TEROW-2-5G-POE-Multi-Speed-Compatible/dp/B0CGDF35P1
Why that's better?
it's €73 instead of €128.
For when you want black and orange, but can't afford Aruba.
Chipsets are now commodity…
i own a couple of the cheap random brands like this
i think my last unmanaged 6 RJ45 port one with 2.5gb poe and 2 SFP+ 10G ports cot $90 (USD) in sept.
They are great value for money, so are the managed ones. I used it for a dedicates network for a ceph cluster (its sort of hidden in this shot on the rack shelf to the left of the ubiquiti POE switch https://gist.github.com/scyto/76e94832927a89d977ea989da157e9dc
It works fine, I have the same under a different name in my rack.
You're clearly not in the market scavenging, this is nothing impressive... Maybe if it was managed for the $100 then ..
As of the last 5ish months or so yes!
