The MS305 (pay attention to the model number when purchasing) is a fine addition to a home network, especially with moving moderately large amounts of data between devices (pictures, streaming, archives) internally or via the Internet.

40 POE+ and 8 POE++ ports 4 10Gib SPF+ ports Layer 3 features Quiet fans

Works with the "UF-MM-10G Multi-Mode Fiber, 10 Gbps SFP+" and the Ubiquiti switch. 10x faster than 1G. Works with linux.

BOTH riser adapters included.

The obvious question is why one would purchase this card over the far cheaper options. Generic 1Gbps NICs can be had for just over a tenth the cost, while Intel's desktop varieties run less than half the price of this card. Leaving aside the cheapest cards - ones I've found to cause more problems with data corruption and reliability than it's worth - the main reason to go with a server card is if you will be loading it heavily. If you're running your own datacenter, power-saving features such as EEE and DMA coalescing are handy, but that likely doesn't apply to most potential customers for this NIC. The I210T1 does an even better job at offloading calculations than previous generation NICs.Saturate a full 1Gbps connection with multiple streams and you'll see CPU usage drop in comparison to what it is with desktop cards. We put this card in a workstation to replace the on-board Realtek NIC. System CPU time dropped by 20-30% under very heavy network loads after switching to the I210T1. Another benefit to the I210T1 - and a possible reason to upgrade to this new model - is Audio Video Bridging (AVB) support. When working on projects where multiple media streams need to be perfectly synchronized, AVB worked wonders. Older NICs simply could not keep everything synced perfectly. We needed to work on 10Gbps connections instead. Being able to accomplish the same feat with a much cheaper card is great! The I210T1 is tiny. It fits easily even in systems with bulging heatsinks and video cards.

When you first read a product overview you have a tendency to look over it quickly and move on to the product’s specifications. Exactly what I did this time and them I installed this Smart Switch in place of my older TP-Link Router. I was surprised by the speed and efficiency at which this switch works. I was also surprised that you could actually monitor the switch at work. When I receive a product to write a review on I try to be thorough and write down in plain terms my experience with the item. First there are cheaper switches on the market. Second you have to decide if you want to have a wired portion of your network. Third is it worth your time to run cables and wire your house to achieve a wired network. Fourth do you need a secured wired network or network that has wired section? While there are cheaper routers and you may feel that the time used to run cables can be used to do something better, I would say that it is a great idea to have a section of your network that is capable of communicating over RJ45. The router is small and can be managed which is a plus. Taking the time to set up the network correctly will enhance you network stability. While wireless might be the way to go, having a wired portion of your network will give you an advantage in your home office. I use mine for software downloads and when installing windows on the computers I repair for family and friends. If you decide to do this to your network you will find that you have been missing out on faster download speed. You will also realize that you now have control over the ports and if you do decide to wire one side of your network you will be able to stream and game without bottlenecking the network. This is a well manufactured compact device that can be used at home or at your business. Installation is a breeze and everything you need to get started in in the box. Purchase your cables for the other items and you will be up and running in no time. Great buy for your home or business.

Dual network ports over RJ45. Backwards compatible with FE and GE (100Mbps and 1Gbps) Comes with standard and low profile brackets No drivers needed for VM Ware ESXi (5.5.0 u2 tested), Citrix XenServer (7.2 and 7.3 tested)

UniFi compatible and suited to the kinds of awful environmental conditions the old Ubiquiti Tough Switch Pro was perfect for. Being managed by UniFi rather than UISP simplifies the network, so it's GREAT to have this niche filled. Surprisingly useful to have more ports, didn't know we needed them until we had the option.

Worked as advertised, easy install.

All 8 ports are POE Have increased speed from older Gigabit units.

-Whisper quite -Many Features -Web GUI or phone app to manage it -You have to know what your doing or at least read the manual.
