Customer Review: Good, inexpensive choice...
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a technology junkie, and run networks professionally, so I've had home LANs for years. After several failed desktop gig switches, and reading dozens of user reviews, I picked this model as a combination of reliability and low-price.
* I dropped this into place where I had a 100Mb NETGEAR FS608 8-Port Fast Ethernet Switch. My throughput on a large file copy went from about 5.7MB/s to 22MB/s, using the same computers, cables, and software, almost a 4x speedup. I suspect my test throughput is now limited by other factors rather than the switch.
* The case is a little large, but is wall mountable. My biggest complaint is that it's oriented as a desktop switch (lights on one side, cables on the other), which is awkward when you mount it on the wall (either the lights are hidden or you can't get to the cables easily).
* This is a "green" product. It's max power draw is 6W, vs the 17.5W for a NETGEAR GS108 ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch. If both products ran at max power usage all year long, this Dlink would use 52.56KWh a year, and the Netgear GS108 would use 153.3kWh a year. The difference would cost me about $[...] a year at the rate I pay here in Maryland. So the "green" product effectively gives you the equivalent of a [...], every year!
I realize that the switches wouldn't run full-tilt all-year long, but the idea holds. We're finally starting to realize all the little things we do add up, environmentally and in cost. Buying hardware designed with that idea in mind helps!
* It handles both 100Mb and 1000Mb hosts simultaneously without a problem (contrary to some comments otherwise). Mine is a H/W ver. C1
Other thoughts: In the race to lower prices on consumer-grade gig-e switches, vendors seem to have cut corners. Almost every model of gig switch under $100 is plagued by quality problems and short lifespans (regardless of what the warranty says) according to many reviews.
For example, the NETGEAR GS108 ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch is a GREAT design derived from the vendor's commercial lineup. Its case is sturdy heat-conductive metal, and easy to wall-mount. But mine died after 1.5 years of moderate use. I did better than many other folks who say their's only lasted 1 year. Annoying, especially considering its premium pricing.
This DLink SEEMS to be the exception based on reviews: cheaper, good performance, with no user complaints about it dying. So far, so good!
Update 10/2009: After 17 months of continuous usage, still going strong.
Update 10/2010: 29 months steady/heavy usage now, no problems There is also a newer model I haven't tried yet: D-Link DGS-1008G
