D-Link DGS-2205 5-port 10/100/1000 Desktop Switch Reviews
This is faster than any of my hard drives, so I'm completely satisfied. On my setup, Iperf is showing 870 Mbps through cross-over, about 850 Mbps through either switch, and about 830 Mbps through both on 4 flows. It is very similar performance wise to SMC SMCGS5 that I bought 6 month ago. This product exceeded my expectations. Both support 9K jumbo frames no problem, and work together without a hitch. The only differences I could find is that DGS-2205 costs less, runs cooler, looks better, and AC adapter covers just one outlet (instead of three) on my power strip.
I haven't noticed if it gets hot, but so far in the 2 weeks I've had it it has not dropped any connections, which is a plus. It could be green, I don't know, and frankly I don't really care all that much. it's a gigabit switch that is cheap and works perfectly, not much more to say about that.
It was blank. If you need technical support use another product. I love the product. So, if you know how to network and don't need further information then I would highly suggest this product. It was easy to install - however - I wanted to further network so I popped the DVD in the computer to learn more about the product. What. I then called the company and informed them that I received a blank DVD and they told me that all the DVD's were sent out blank.
Every 3rd or 4th test would fail with a time-out. In the more demanding role, it dropped packets when I did throughput tests. I still use it to support a PC and a network printer, but not as my secondary hub with all 5 ports needed. Note that I am using a 16 port GE Netgear switch as my main hub. But not one I'd buy again, either. So not horrible for UDP applications. This switch is OK, but it does drop packets under load. Replaced it with a Netgear 8 port GE managed switch and no more time-outs.
Well never had to think about it after I plugged it in, that's the way a switch should be, working flawlessly.
