Easy per-slot PCIe speed control and bifurcation options. Intuitive Bios in general. miniSASHD SATA breakouts, instead of individual ports (those breakout cables are included!) Very stable running proxmox once I disabled C-state options. IPMI is great (and the password for which can be easily reset in the BMC settings of the BIOS!)

The switch has a very heavy and quality feel to it. POE+ works great with my cameras, and wireless access points.

The MS305 (pay attention to the model number when purchasing) is a fine addition to a home network, especially with moving moderately large amounts of data between devices (pictures, streaming, archives) internally or via the Internet.

Been waiting for a storm to submit a review. This unit maintained my internet connection during a Tornado Warning and subsequent power outage. I love it!

These are great.. enterprise reliable !

clean nice finish affordable has some space

- Works out of the box on FreeBSD 11 - No issues with 4Kn drives

Works exactly as advertised

Has good room between plugs for weird shaped, or large power adapters. Has covers for plugs that are not in use, helpful for me so that dust doesn't get inside of them. Also if you have little kids, that would be a plus. cat5 protection doesn't slow internet connection at all, which was a concern of mine.

NICE ITEM WELL MADE . WORKS WELL MAKES CHANGING HARD DRIVES A LOT FASTER AND EASIER GREAT PRODUCT

Great value UPS for higher end machines or extra capacity. The LCD status display is a great feature as it gives you detailed status information on the unit no matter what you have it powering. So you can see you estimated runtime with the current load when it powering equipment other than a PC as an example. Plus the new method that APC has for connecting the internal battery is a great design improvement - no short cables to fuss with!

Small/efficient design Flexible PoE output

Used to be you’d have to spend a few hundred bucks for a managed 8 port gigabit switch. Do you need a managed switch? At this price, why not get one. I think most home users probably don’t need a managed switch, so you can use it as a dumb switch, hook it up, don’t do any setup, and don’t worry about it until you find yourself needing the extra capabilities. What can you do with a managed switch? Plenty. -- See Other Thoughts. TP-Link has several marketing terms for its 8-Port managed switches. “Easy Smart Switch” is this model. “Smart Switch” is the next level up model – the TL-SG2008 – at about twice the price. Moving up from there are the professional “Jetstream” L2 and the scalable “Jetsream” L3 models which have features like SFP slots to attach things like fiber interface modules. The main difference between the SG108E and the SG2008 is that management of this model switch is done through a Windows utility running on a Windows computer attached to the network. The SG2008 is managed via a browser based utility running on the switch and has a few more configurable features. The SG2008 also has a 4MB buffer vs. 2MB for the SG108E. They both have the same switching capacity (16 Gbps), forwarding rate (11Mpps), and Mac address capacity (8K). I think the SG108E is easier to configure. This switch is small, solid, has a metal case, and does not require a fan. There is an external power supply. Inside the metal enclosure I found a Realtek RTL8370N Layer 2 Managed 10/100/1000 Switch controller with a heat sink and 1MB attached Flash memory. Included in the retail box are also a quick set-up sheet and a Mini CD that contains a detailed 40 page pdf manual and the Configuration utility installer. The configuration utility is organized into System, Switching, Monitoring, VLAN, and QoS sections. The switch supports up to 32 port-based and tagged VLANs. It has a loop prevention feature. It supports port and 802.1p based QoS with 4 priority settings. You can do in/out bandwidth control per port. You can specify a storm control limit and apply it to one or more ports. Static LAG groups are supported. There is automatic power saving that can shut down idle ports and adjust power depending on cable lengths. Port Mirroring is supported on one port at a time. Packet counts can be monitored by interface.
