Excellent switch for the price. It is a bit noisy, but I have this installed at my home residence by itself in a hall closet. If you're buying this for a rack with other switches/any noise, it won't make any more noise than other devices. Con: the mounting brackets only came with 4 screws instead of the 8 it is designed for. One side of the switch was cracked where the mounting bracket goes, but it is used so i expected some wear.

Both this and the SRW2016 are great managed switches, but they are very noisy. That's not an issue if used for a comm closet or data center, but if you're planning on using it for home, you may be better off picking up a few 8-port switches instead which are fanless. These switches have two 40x40x20mm 3-pin fans which run full speed all the time on the left side of the chassis. I've replaced these with 2 fans of the same size from Silenx and the difference is night and day. You can't hear the switch unless you're right next to it. Of'course it does come at a sacrifice of airflow and cooling capacity - but so far I haven't had any issues.
While the SRW series switch are in fact loud, you can pull the front and rear bezel off, remove the top cover and disconnect the two fans - this review isn't about how loud it is. The switch actually does run cool without the fans, unless of course you have it jammed in a rack with tons of other equipment. The SRW series switches are reliable network devices that support web management and most importantly, port trunking. If you're looking for a switch for either home networking or small business use, look no further.
It's kind of out-date. But I like better then unmanaged switch switch witch it will be replacing. So Thanks

Unit may be defective, but if not there is no sense in the cooling fan being as loud as it is. I can hear it over all the other equipment.
