The MS305 (pay attention to the model number when purchasing) is a fine addition to a home network, especially with moving moderately large amounts of data between devices (pictures, streaming, archives) internally or via the Internet.


New unit does not come with a power cord. THE UNIT DOES NOT REQUIRE A POWER SUPPLY. Just need a regular PC power cord. Support was very nice and willing to help in anyway they could.


Small footprint for stack installation. LEDs are not obstructed by patch cables. Runs cool.


* Nice compact form factor * Included power adapter option is nice * Even nicer is being able to power it off PoE - one less wire/plug socket to deal with * Integrates well with the UniFi Network app, showing what devices are connected to it






Purchased for my home network, just hook up and go.

Metal case. Very compact for a 10-port switch - I really like how small it is. I plugged in 10Gbps SFTP and 2.5Gbps devices and tested throughput. It moved 2.36Gbps between two 2.5Gbps ports and 9.39Gbps between two SFTP ports. In comparison, the same test (using iperf3 in Linux) between two SFP ports on my more-expensive Aruba switch gives the same 9.39Gbps. I was pleasantly surprised to see a "VLAN" switch on the front. The product description does not mention this.



Just plug everything in. Aside from one glitch where one computer thought it had an IP address conflict, everything worked smoothly. The conflict resolved itself somehow, probably a Windows thing, and connections are now consistent and fast.
