Title: Can someone recommend a 16 port switch? Post by: superfastkyle on June 25, 2012, 03:41:00 AM I currently have a gs108 netgear switch, it needs resetting a couple times a week I have no idea why. So I'm looking for a replacement. ideally with 16 ports so I have room to grow. Is there any advantages to a managed switch? At least as far as bitcoin mining is concerned? Just want something stable (even in 100f heat), any recommendations that are cheap/common.

This is probably overkill just for mining. I found myself never using any of the features this has. I went with a more efficient unmanaged switch to replace this. Keep in mind it is a rackmount model so the sound of the fan can get annoying after a while if you are trying to work nearby. It has the rackmount ears on it as well. I have not had any problems with this, willing to sell for $100 worth of BTC plus shipping. Title: Re: Can someone recommend a 16 port switch? Post by: Transisto on June 29, 2012, 06:58:39 AM If it's only for mining I highly suggest searching around for 100mb used one.
100mb are being replaced by 1gb at every opportunity, The 10mb - 100mb move was even more brutal,,, and that was a while back. Hardware surplus trash them all the time, try finding them in such places in your area. 10$ for a used 24port ? |
