Hi,

Does anybody have any experience with the Edimax XGS-5008 switch ? After having very bad experience with 10gbit stability in the famous Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch ES-16-XG, I would be very interested to know about any problems with 10gbit esp. with the Intel X552 / X557-AT cards found in the Supermicro X10SDV motherboards).

My use case is a homelab and the Edimax switch seems to be quite attractive (~620 USD in EU) for it, but I would be very happy to also know about the switches noise and temperatures (the manual says usage of 24W maximum and there seems to be a small fan in the chassis).

Any feedback greatly appreciated :)

Cheers,
Waldemar

@Waldek i have never heard of the brand but it’s likely using the standard chipsets available, looks really interesting ! That’s the lowest power 8 x 10g switch I think I have seen !
