TP-Link Jetstream 8 Port Multi-Gigabit L2+ Managed PoE Switch (TL-SG3210XHP-M2) - 8 PoE+ Port @240W, 2 x 10G SFP+ Slots, 2.5G Bandwidth, Omada SDN Integrated, IPv6, Limited Lifetime Protection

This product represents an excellent blend of features and performance. For my small SMB private cloud, I use this device as my core switch. My NAS and ESXi server occupy the 2x10 gpbs SFP ports, and my wireless and office terminate on the 2.5 gbps ports, where the wireless router supports multi-gig (2.5) LAN and the office has a small 2.5 gpbs switch, connected my desktop with an integrated 2.5 gbps NIC. This allows me to optimize my speeds for all points of access with far fewer limitations. I can get full use of my 1.5 gpbs fibre connection everywhere now. Notably, were I a content creator transferring large file sets often, I would want 10gbps in the office as well. As is, I am developing/terraforming and providing services as VMs in VMWare more than moving large files. I am also using cloud services and maximizing my internet speeds more than anything else. This switch was perfect for my use case. Some notes: 1) Its loud. I have it tucked away in a server rack, but I wouldn't want it on my desk. 2) L2 features are excellent 3) I could not register the product online - TP-Link doesn't recognize the serial number.

Absolutely the best switch I’ve own to date Would recommend to anyone looking for a new switch

The switch works as expected. Using two 10GB ethernet sfp modules I am getting the advertised speeds. The 2.5 GB ports also get their advertised speeds even over cat5e going through a patch panel at about 50-75 feet. Also if you install the Omada software it will tell you some great stats on the switch and access points if you use them (I do). TP-Link has made a great product, and they are all integrated with Omada at very reasonable price. If you want switches and access points better than your typical router but not going all the way up to Cisco in complexity these make a great balance.

Excellent item, exactly as described, works well.

The switch is great, performance wise. But the fan noise is a deal breaker. It won't turn off even when the switch is idle. Make sure you plan on putting this switch away, far away, in a remote closet. The fan is so loud it makes it unbearable if used in an office environment.
