Not affiliated with them. I bought a few stuffs from them before and they all arrived on time. No issues for me. What was the story for HT?
Just brings back memories of these two posts
wait one, getting some popcorn
I've forgiven them.
My experience with them have been great every time.
What is the significance of steel housing?
The metal switch will stay cooler than the plastic one (metal dissipates heat, plastic not so much). Metal is also a grounding material so with a surge, shorter path to ground rather than through the components.
resilience
it goes back to the olden days when most desktop switches were metal and they could be used in semi workplace, factory type environments and not get F'ed up like cheap plastic box switches
I can't find a reliable, in-stock & affordable supplier for a 10 gbe fanless unmanaged* network switch.
My shortlist of QNAP QSW-2104-2T (2 10gbe ports, with 4 2.5 gbe), TP-Link TL-SX105 or Netgear XS505M (5 10gbe ports)
They all seem to be stocked out or hiked in price. Any suggestions team OZB?
*yes unmanaged fanless because its going on a desk, simple home network — agreed there's great options when you get enterprise-scale gear
Considered chucking a 4 port SFP+ card with RJ-45 transceivers into your home server? Probably the cheapest option, but some assembly required…
Definitely a good option.
I'm in a similar boat where my always on PC is the defacto NAS box, and it'd be cheaper for this setup for the couple of other PC's that'd make use of the speeds instead of a 10Gbe switch.
Harris Technology… Heh
