5.0 out of 5 stars Looks very nice, and performs even better!, October 11, 2008

Plug and play at it's root.

I just unplugged my old switch and plugged this in. Within seconds all the devices connected and those that were 1Gbit were detected as such.

Transfer speeds went up from around 6-8 Megabytes / sec to around 30-35 Megabytes / sec. So quite a substantial jump in speed!

One thing to note is that the blue lights on the device are quite bright and I had to put some tape on top of them because at night, my bedroom looked like a disco with all the blue lights blinking :)
