I now have several of these in service. One has been running for over 4 years now. They work as advertised, are inexpensive and allegedly consume less power. I like that they have a metal housing too.

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.

When I got this, I just feel in love with this. Here's why: * 4-port POE for a switch is great for a switch this size. * 8 ports of a managed switch that's nice and compact. * 15kb jumbo frames is a huge plus. * Web based GUI is an added plus. * Heat dissipation is not a problem at all - even with 4 POE running. * The anti-Loop or spanning tree is very nice feature, but almost all have this feature, but not at this price point.

Compact size, low heat, low energy consumption, feature set, so much capability to learn about.
