Solid, but slow and costly
This replaced my RMA-ed Linksys EZXS88W v3 8-port which overheated and died after 3 days of use.Compared to the Linksys:Good: Nice mounting bracket (can use to hold non-3com items)Smarter (Auto MDI/MDX detection)Brighter, well-spaced diagnostic LEDsMetal/Plastic construction seems much more solid than LinksysLifetime warrantyDoesn’t meltBad:Larger footprintonly 60Mbit/s (Linksys did 90MBit/s)costs $20-$30 moreOverall, it’s a nice switch, but I wonder why its bandwidth is so low.
Update (2/8/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.
