Not buying consumer D-Link again.
Had one of these die on me the other day & have had 3 gig ones go on me.
Gig is the way to go, but if your NAS is only 100 then prob no biggie.
These are fine for casual home use but be aware they do seize up every once in a while and require a hard reset.
I have a $20 generic 8-port switch which does an equally good job for well, $20.
$50 shipped with an 8GB USB isn't too bad though, but I do agree with Chris - you might as well go for GigE when it's only a little more expensive.
Ew.. Fast Ethernet.
I have been using Dlink for years and think, they are quite good. Though its person to person.
I dont think people buy switches alone now. Wifi routers are already coming with 4 or more ports.
and its more wireless these days than wire ( i used wired connection for xBox, but it is coming from my wifi Router).
8 gb USB is worth 25 bucks.
Avoid D-Link. They're the belkin of adsl/switches.
It's good price for what it is, but I recommend people to only buy Gigabit now.
100Mb/s ethernet is only good for ~11MB/s, which if you're moving a fair bit of data (eg backing up over network), is just too slow.
