D-Link DGS-1016D Unmanaged 10/100/1000Mbps Desktop/Rackmount Switch D-Link DGS-1016D Unmanaged 10/100/1000Mbps Desktop/Rackmount Switch

Pros: Gets full 1000 Mbps throughput
Doesn't draw much power at all if you are only using a few ports
Rack mount ears are convenient, but can sit on a shelf etc.
Integrated power supply, no wall wart to deal with

Cons: The lights on the front are laid out a bit odd

Pros: Installed 2 in our work network.... work great!

Cons: None...

Other Thoughts: They work... not expensive!

Pros: 16 port gigabit switch with jumbo frame support

Cons: none that I have detected so far

Other Thoughts: I have been using this switch for over a year and a month with no issues at all. I wired my house with CAT5e and CAT6 myself so I know that the quality of the cables and plugs are top notch. Perhaps the folks having problems with the switch are using faulty/cheap cables? Not sure, but I have had no issues with this switch at all. In fact, I plan to buy another one for my uncle to replace an 8 port netgear switch which seems to have intermittent power supply issues.

Pros: Gigabit
Price (Purchased on sale $139).

I'ts be at full utilization for over a year, and there have been no issues.

Cons: none so far

Other Thoughts: Plug it and forget it

Pros: High Speed

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Replaced old switch that wasn't working.

Pros: Worked well for a while, inexpensive.

Cons: I just up and dies, this is the 2nd one I've had and both died after about 8 months. I emailed D-link and they say return it. That's poor product. Our system was completely down. We used a back up SMC switch that is about 5 years old that works great. I'm looking at SMC product this time. Don't buy this product it will die on you.

Other Thoughts: Don't buy this product it will die on you. Make sure you have a back up if you do buy this product because it will die on you.

Pros: I have trusted D-Link for my network needs for years. Their equipment is extremely reliable and the price is resonable. The network is stable and running with a hitch.

Cons: I really would like a switch with this many ports to have the physical connections in the rear since in my case it is not rack mounted.

Other Thoughts: Whatever issues excessed in the past regarding a noisy fan or heat are gone. It does not have a noisy fan an it is cool.

Pros: Cool, quiet, low power. Internal power supply (no brick).

Cons: None

Pros: Works well, easy to install. Fast tech support.

Cons: sizable for 16 ports

Pros: 16 ports that support gigabit speed & support for jumbo frames if you need that option

Cons: unmanaged, but for the price of this switch, not going to happen.

Other Thoughts: all the ports that are active on my switch are showing gigabit connection and no failing ports like some reviewers have claimed. I like the "Green Technology" that this switch offers. If the equipment that is attached to a port is turned off, the port is turned off until it is powered on & active.
