Are Layer 3 managed switches already so cheap？Crazy

[Sorandict]

Just wonder if it's the reviews for the product that caused the XikeStor to go on sale for such a low price, otherwise it's hard to believe L3 managed SFP+ switches are being sold at such a low price.. Kind of regret buying it early and purchasing it for $159.99, but so far it's working fine with my network

Don't believe what the title/marketing says. Description has:

supports advanced features like partial L3 management(DHCP Server, RIP, OSPF, BGP), IPv4/IPv6 support, routing, QoS, ACL, SNMP, and various management methods including Console, Telnet, and SSH

I would assume the management is quite iffy, like on the Realtek-y 2.5GbE switches.

The reviews seem to say it all with this one. Looks like you get what you pay for.

You might want to look at Mikrotik switches, they are cheap and actually good

Yeah, the cooling could really use some work, but the management stuff seems fine.

Sounds like got a cheap deal but ended up with something that's not up to par in performance. So far there's nothing wrong with it for now except for the risk of overheating with passive cooling

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of Mikrotik stuff is really affordable. Are you talking about this model, the 10G one? CRS309-1G-8S+IN?

Just puzzled about their current prices because the stuff actually works fine. But yeah, it did end up costing me an extra 20 bucks...

Got the web managed item couple of weeks before, curious to see the selling price again, but of course I'm also interested in some other Chinese brands, including Yuanley, Sodola, Mokerlink...
