[Metal] I was looking for a network switch for my office that could handle 10-gigabit connections over RJ-45 (to connect my PC and Synology NAS) but it was difficult to find one that didn't have negative reviews either due to heat or noise. I gave this switch a shot and it's worked extremely well so far. You can set it to use a quiet profile for the fans so that it's not quite as loud and it's been very reliable and performant so far. I can easily transfer While the unit is certainly not silent (the fans are small and can produce a high-pitch hum at times), it is quiet enough to be placed in my office and blends in with the fan noise from other devices like the NAS. Unless it's under a high load or I'm specifically listening for it, I don't even notice it. With larger transfers, I have seen transfer speeds of 550 MB/s to an SSD on my NAS, which is about what I would expect.

[Yes] Great 10gb switch and very cost effective solution! Highly recomended.

[4.935 lb] Using the 10 gigabit ports really speed up access to my NAS. Easy to configure and so far works great.

[Metal] Needed to build a new NAS for my home office and needed a few Gigabit ports but also a few 10Gb ports. Was surprised how few good options there were for 10Gb switches. Under $500 USD there were either 4x 1 Gb and 1x 10Gb port or 4-5x 10Gb ports. Both options not working because of the few amount of ports. Found this one and it was so much better than other options.


Have not used the smart web based features. So this was plug and play with my multi computer and multi NAS office.


Very happy with it and will recommend to anyone needing a future proof switch!

[Internal] A breeze to setup and use.
I don't have a lot of experience setting up networks but this switch is so user friendly.
The login interface is super clean looking and easy to navigate.

[Yes] Excellent managed switch at a reasonable price. User friendly web management, small form factor and quiet. Well suited for indoor use in a quiet environment. Very pleased.

[Yes] The QNAP does extremely well using auto negotiation on my mixed network. All 10 Gb network cards (OWCPCIE10Gb) from B&H run at rated speeds. Direct 10 Gb transfers between (2) computers with NVMe drives averages slightly over 1 GigaByte/s. Primarily purchased for large backup image and rendered file transfers between multiple computers and a backup server using CAT6a (10'-30') and CAT8 (95'-120') cables. No dropouts during multiple transfers taking place. Plays well with the 2.5 Gb cards and (1) ancient Intel 1.0 Gb card still in the network as well. Also will support up to (8) VLANs, link aggregation and Spanning Tree Protocol.

Management is web based, straightforward and easy to set up or change using either the MGMT RJ45 port or web browser connected via the RJ45 or SFP+ ports. Used an SFP+ module to test all SFP+ ports. All port properly negotiate to NIC rated speeds.

Switch is quiet even though the twin fans spin at 4k+ RPM. (3) fan curve options in setup. The front and top surfaces stay between 89° to 94°F (pyrometer checked). SFP+ module tops out at 95°F on the exposed faces under load. Rated maximum power is 48.6 watts. Internal DC power supply with a 120V AC cord instead of a clumsy 4+ amp power brick.

Have a few more 10Gb cards to purchase yet. Only had it for a few weeks, but it's certainly been doing the job. About the same price as a Netgear 10 port 10Gb managed switch, 4 ports of which are only 2.5Gb. Only about $50 more than a Buffalo 8 port 10 Gb unmanaged switch.

A switch that you can grow into instead of out of for a SOHO network. It's a keeper fer shur.

[9000 Bytes] I removed my old unmanaged 1gb switch and put this one in its place. It was plug-and-play. Much faster not quite 10x faster maybe 8x in real-world use.

[4.935 lb] This is small but mighty. Fast internal bus, really simple user interface (it’s a switch, but it has good stuff like bonding that is really simple to set up).
Easy 10.

[16K] When the switch arrived I simply moved the connections from my previous switch to the new one and everything worked. Also the devices that support 10Ge were transferring data at that rate.
