Can we finally get some affordable 10GbE switches too?

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (6 children)

what is "affordable" to you? there are $100-$300 10GbE switches out there.

I'd like something that can replace my dinky little unmanaged 16-port gigabit switch for less than $300. Right now The only things I can find in that price bracket have maybe 5 ports. I'd settle for something that can just do 2.5/5Gb on all ports.

Yeah what I've settled on is one of those $40 generic Chinese 4x2.5G PoE+2x10G SFP+ switches. Gives me:

  • 10G for internet/router
  • 10G for my main computer
  • 2.5G for secondary machine
  • 2.5G for NAS
  • 2.5G PoE for WiFi
  • One port chained to a 16-port Gbit switch for all the slow junk that doesn't need performance

Would be great to get another 10G for the NAS as well!
