Any good recommendations on a 8 port minimum SFP+ switch?

8 port SFP+ or 2-4 Port SFP+ with the rest being gigabit?
If all you need is a basic L2 switch with 2x 10gb SFP+ ports, the Mikrotik CRS226 is nice, as soon as you start looking for much more you either have to know their interface/command line or you will want more in terms of speed and power.

Do you have a budget? Quanta LB6M gives you 24 sfp+, and there are a few available on ebay around 1000$/ piece.
Later edit: i don't see any 8+ sfp+ switches in mikrotik's lineup, what model were you talking about?

Mikrotik crs226 and 210 both have sfp+. We are trying to work out if you want 8 sfp+ ports or what you are asking..
The DXS-1210-12SC has 10x SFP+ and 2x sfp+/10GbE combo ports.
I would still go for the lb6m

Huh? The 24 port has 2 SFP+
Everything I've read about the Quanta makes me believe the firmware is absolute garbage.
S500X-8F8T but it sure isn't cheap. A couple of advantages though:
- The 8F8T model also comes with 8 10GBASE-T ports for additional 1GE or 10GE copper twisted pair connectivity if needed.
- The last two SFP+ ports can be used for switch stacking (where multiple switches act as one logical switch) to SG500X 24 or 48 port switches which you can find a deal on occasionally, or additional 8F8Ts. Since the additional switch(es) also have at least two SFP+ ports, you still have at least eight SFP+ total in the stack.
It's maybe not the same price, but why not going onto Gnodal GS4008 (40 SFP+ and 8 QSFP) ?
I got mine for 1500$ (some have picked up for cheaper than that).
The black point, it's the "zero-warranty" because Gnodal didn't exist anymore.

Dell makes the X4012 it's 12 SFP+ only(it does come with a gigabit sfp module included though) they're like 1250 new.
Be patient, sometimes good 10G SFP+ switches are available for under 1000 USD. If however noise is a factor, then I guess the Dell X4012 would be a good choice.
