Review on 🚀 Enhance Your Network Speed with QNAP QSW-1105-5T 5-Port Unmanaged 2.5GbE Switch by Cameron Reed

This is great for people who regularly transfer large files between a small group of systems (like PC to NAS or transferring Chia graphics) I use this about a half a year (pre-ordered it after the announcement). 2.5Gbps auto-negotiation between my 3 systems: Windows 10 PC (Gigabyte x570 Aorus Xtreme motherboard), non-raid NAS server (Linux based, on ASRock X570 Phantom Games x) and Ubuntu system (Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master) . Large file transfers between systems can consistently exceed 250-270 MB/s, maxing out at around 280. That's 2.5 times faster than my previous 1 Gigabit connection; Moving a 15GB file in less than 1 minute is a significant improvement in the quality of life on the internet. Of course, the connection to the Internet remains unchanged. The 2.5 Gbps speed is limited only to this internal cluster of devices directly connected to this switch. The physical design may not be for everyone - the LEDs, cable connections and DC adapter port are on the front. But the metal body is solid and heat dissipation is not a problem. It doesn't get that hot - Tom's gear peaked at about 8 watts. As this is the first batch I was initially wondering if there might be issues with the firmware but haven't noticed anything so far. Very happy with it!
