Rackmount Reliable Fast

just got another to move roommates computer to other side of his room. Great device to extend an existing line.




Easy, deployment, work as described.

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



Fast performance and PoE+/++ out of the box! Small footprint and overall a performance beast for my network


40 POE+ and 8 POE++ ports 4 10Gib SPF+ ports Layer 3 features Quiet fans


Have purchased 10 in the past two years, sturdy and reliable; allows easy expansion on the network. Price is great.



- Beautifully designed switch, feels like it was forged out of a solid block of aluminum. - Passive cooling works! No fan noise, not a dust collector and if someone decides to put books on top of it (like my wife did) -- it won't complain; cooling is through the sides. This is a huge deal because when I was working with clients it got tiring to go out on calls because "the computer thingy is making a noise" -- just to find out that a fan bearing had spun out and needed replacing. - Rack kit is very nice - The power saving features are real! I put an ammeter on this unit and found that at idle it was drawing around 800 milliwatts (yea - less than a watt!). Just to see if they were exaggerating about the cable length detection, I tried it with eight 3 meter cables and then with eight 50 meter cables -- I could actually see a small difference in current draw :-). Under full load with 8 devices transferring large files I got no more than around 5 watts. That's like a kid's night light. Now these power savings are not going to bank you hundreds of dollars, but if you were running a rack full of these switches it could add up. Also just the idea that TP-LINK is paying attention to the environment is nice to see. - Their config sofware is easy to use and intuitive. Other than a few network settings you might need to tweak, this will be a set-and-forget affair. If you have several of these switches in your network then the software may end up being used a little more often. - TP-LINK's website is excellent. It's easy to find information on their products and they have a download section for latest firmware, etc. I did not try to update the firmware. They also claim 24 x 7 customer support, which was nice to see. - When doing large file transfers on a relatively unloaded network I was getting over 900 mbps speed. I'm on older cat 5E wiring but very high quality wire, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was able to hit this speed.


Fits into the Ubuiquti ecosystem perfectly. Lowest price by far for anywhere near the quality and specifications for a NAS of this kind. 10 gigabit port. My Mac can format it APFS, just like an external drive. File sharing is a breeze. Security is easy to set up. Seven drive bays. RAID 5, 6, and 1+0 (with hot spare). Multiple volumes. Perfect integration into Ubiquity ecosystem.
