I bought one of these because I was tired of using my own storage solutions for very simple use cases and I needed a 2.5GbE connection for some extra network speed . . I ended up comparing this to a QNAP 2.5GbE switch (QSW-1105-5T). So far only positive experiences. The performance was great and the interface was easy to use. Benefits + Fast. + Easy to use web interface. + 2.5GbE network. Cons: No built-in M.2 slots. released a fairly affordable version of the QSW-1105-5T.
