This review is from: D-Link DGS-1248T Web Smart 48-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with 4-Port Combo SPFs (Personal Computers)

This switch really does a great job and has a surprising amount of management features despite not being a "managed" switch. This is a web smart switch so it does have a good deal of functionality that are offered with managed switches. It has features like VLAN, QOS, and Jumbo Frame support.

This switch replaced two 24 port 10/100 Ethernet switches. The goal was to upgrade our network to support our many servers and newer workstations that have gigabit Ethernet cards. This switch really did the trick and the speed difference is amazing even cutting down on network backup time by more than half.

There is one minor issue with the switch, which could be a non-issue for most people. The fans can be pretty loud on this switch, however, considering it is a rack mount switch, it will probably be placed in a server room. Again, a minor issue, not really worth knocking off a star. I would highly recommend this switch.
