Best 8 Port Switch Money Can Buy

[Florb]

Hey all,

 

I recently finished off a cheap 50$ switch and put an axe through its PCB (No Jokes). Every now and then it would slow down and cause transferring files to and from a NAS to run at 100kbps, even though it is a gigabit switch running Cat 6 to my computer. So, are there any suggestions to a good Cisco, Ubiquiti or etc. switch that anyone could recommend? 

 

Thanks in advance

When does the slow down occur? During a transfer of a large amount of files? Or during a transfer of a single, large file?

During the transfer of files and playing Csgo at the same time (common haha), so yeah I do wish to mitigate this issue. The Ubiquities have had bandwidth issues along its ports, so I might avoid them.

Well, it is normal for network transfer speed to dip when transferring files depending on the number and size of the files. If you are trying to transfer a bunch of small files, you aren't going to get full network speed (and its not the network's fault). Same thing happens when you try to transfer a lot of small files from one hard drive to another within your PC.

In before it wasn't the switch's fault you were getting slow transfer speeds...

In 99% of cases where this happens the problem lies somewhere else.

 

If you want a good gigabit switch for home usage then get something like this: TP-Link TL-SG108

You're late.

You should axe a tree or something not a working switch

 

I don't think it was the switch' problem but if you want a good switch buy an enterprise grade one like a HP or something.

 

I can recommend this one HP 1410-8G
