    60 port 10G SFP+ switch 250 USD

    These VDX switches are not as good as the ICX series. I have 2 VDX6740 switches and they are quite loud and ports are locked down by licenses. Firmwares are also not easily available.

    Brocade VDX 6740

    I paid $100 for both the switches which seemed like a really good price.

With that being said, the purchase didn't seem like a...
