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.




Got here in 2 days. Put it in and it is working well so far. Got 7 years of continuous use of the one it replaced. Hope to get at least this long with these new batteries. Came in at 85% charged. After plugged for an hour it went to 100%. So, no issues.

cheap fast low latency ecc registered on my supermicro QVL



This was supper easy to set up!!

Fits a trayless rack and docking stations fine. Has a spring-loaded tongue inside so thinner drives won't rattle. A straight-through interconnect, appears to be gold plated. Comes with all mounting screws: 6 machine plus 4 large flat, course-threaded that probably go into plastic holes. Swing door has a nice, sliding lock tab.

-Whisper quite -Many Features -Web GUI or phone app to manage it -You have to know what your doing or at least read the manual.

Great product -Synology 10Gb


Price, form factor...


Does what you'd want - allows controls of 2 computers through one keyboard and mouse. (I'm not using it for video part.) My mouse scrollwheel works fine too, which I've had some issues with on other switches.




new Web GUI and great features for the price. This is a sturdy Gbit Ethernet switch that includes basic managed switch features such as VLAN tagging, rate limiting, and port mirroring. Netgear has not update their datasheet for GS105Ev2, but the recent Firmware (1.3.x) now includes a web GUI and thus no longer requires using a Windows program (ProSafe Plus Utility) to setup and manage, see release notes http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/25397 for confirmation. Unit shipped with this latest firmware, DHCP client mode on, and with the Web GUI feature enabled. You can use a LAN scanner or your router's DHCP client list to find the assigned IP address and manage instantly from any browser without installing any software. Great little switch to add to your home/office LAN toolkit.
