Hey,
So I have a similar switch, a D-Link DGS-3427, which is a 24-port gigabit switch with a 10G backbone (I have two CX4 expanders currently). I really like it but I can't help there might be some nicer stuff out there that could be had cheap.
Has anyone worked with the Dell Force10 network equipment? I didn't even know Dell made switches until I saw these on eBay for like <$100.
Plus, 48-ports (44 1Gbase-T + 4 SFP) and the expanders are groups of two either CX-4 or SFP+ (two expansion slots). Oh, and redundant power supplies.
Looks pretty kick ass, but is anyone familiar with them? Are they shitty for some reason I'm not noticing? WTF are they so cheap? I'm sure it's loud AF but I had to put new fans in my D-Link anyway, so it's not anything I can't handle...
Lemme know if you've tried one of these or something similar, would love to hear your experiences...
Thanks
