Will you guys recommend this for home use?
Or any better option?
Foundry Brocade FastIron GS648P | eBay
#1 Which is better between the HP 1910 and this Brocade FastIron GS 648P? feature/quality wise

#2 Is the FastIron GS648P the previous model of the newer ICX6430?

#3 Is this Foundry GS648P same features with the newer Brocade GS648P? Also is the Foundry GS648P a 1U rackunit?

Thanks.

I think a few folks have that Mellanox/ Voltaire. I have been seriously considering buying one myself.

The Foundry unit is likely good, but not sure about power consumption and noise. The HP V1910-24G does have some audible noise to them. Good for a garage or datacenter, but may need some work for home use.
