So I have recently bought a NAS storage, and a new Raspberry Pi and I have no Ethernet ports to connect to. I was thinking I would come here for help and suggestions. Also would  I need a managed or unamanaged switch? For any suggestions I would like it to be at least 100mbps and have at least 4 ports, I know that there is lots out there on the market but I don't want to make a wrong choice.

Thanks in advance for all repsonse :D

You definitely want an unmanaged switch for simplicity sake. If you don't foresee adding more or a lot more devices a nice 1Gb 5 port switch will run you around $30.

Is there any brands you can recommend me to get or could it be any for around that price range?
