WD My Net Switch - 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch

https://www.amazon.com/WD-My-Net-Switch-Ethernet/dp/B007KZQM8W

 

I have one of these and it works nice enough. its a bit basic and cheaply made. But I have had not issues or complaints.

i don't know what managed dose and i do not need poe

In that case the Netgear GS308 is a good option, I used one with no issues until I upgraded to get more ports. The TP-Link TL-SG108 also looks like a good option and is a bit cheaper.

2.5Gb refers to the speed the ports can run at. Unless you have other devices that also support it as well as a use case that would take advantage of the higher speeds, you won't benefit from it. Regardless, I don't know of any 2.5Gb switch under $100, let alone under $50.

nope there gigabit only.

 

Do your device support 2.5gbe?

 

There is a 5 port 2.5gbe switch for about a 100 bucks from qnap.

my budget is $50 and i have no idea i like servers but have no idea about networking the motherboard i am getting has 2.5g if that is the same

Do the other devices have a 2.5gbe connection? Both ends and the switches need to support it for higher speeds.

i want a switch to also hook up some pi s and my other computer to the nas to but it just has an add in card that says 10 gbe

your not getting a new 10gbe switch for sub $50. If you really want 10gbe your best option is a used switch, like a s2500, but those are still near $100, and you have to deal with a loud switch.
