I bought this a few months back, plugged it in at our network at work (which can't use gigabit ethernet, so no loss there) and it has been excellent. No problems, it just works. Rack mounts easily.

Considering this is an unmanaged switch (i.e. hub), it's pretty difficult to find any flaws with it. Since there is no uplink needed it slips into any 10/100 network flawlessly. Port fittings are snug and RF45's fit into them like a glove. Many devices in this class have loose-fitting ports but this D-Link is well made. It fits into my Cisco controlled network quite well.
