Which network switch should I get?

Kitten of the Broccoli

I'm currently looking at 2 different gigabit switches on Newegg: the NETGEAR GS305, and the NETGEAR GS105.

 

I already have an FS105, but I need to be able to transfer files between the computers on my home network at a speed faster than 100Mbps. So, is there any reason I should avoid getting the GS305 in favor of the GS105? Like I said, this is for my home network, thus I don't need any super-professional features.

There's no real major difference between the two models. I personally have a 105 and haven't had any issues. The 105 does have shielded connectors but that doesn't really affect much in a home environment. Just go with which ever one is cheapest.
