Greetings all!
I am expanding my home lab/network and I have already employed a Brocade 6610 thanks to the guide here. I am very happy with it!
However, I find it lacking in 2.5GbE support, and I have added a few devices that can support it. In addition the need for 2.5, I also need the selected switch to support PoE and have SFP ports so I can uplink it to the 6610. I have looked around, and a contender is the QNAP QSW-M2116P-2T2S-US
found here:
Before I drop $800 on a switch, is there a better option that is preferably less expensive? If not, I am not opposed to that one to get the features I need.
Thanks, I welcome any and all advice and suggestions!
