It Just Works!
First off, note that the actual product is different than the piture. Netgear has updated the swith, so it is more compact. It basically has just the ethernet ports, and the status lights. The lights are fairly close together, so seeing what is going on (link activity) is kind of hard.
Pros:
- Silent operation
- decent enough ports
- compact design
- lifetime warranty
Cons:
- Should have nine ports

QuickView: NETGEAR GS108 ProSafe 8 Port Gigabit Desktop Switch
Since the GS108 is an unmanaged switch, there's not much more to say about it, so I'll cut right to the testing. I tested using two systems running WinXP SP2 - one an Athlon 64 3000+ w/ 512 MB, the other a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 w/ 504 MB.
Pros:
- ? Gigabit Ethernet with Jumbo Frame support for not a lot of
Cons:
- ? Hard to tell if you're buying Jumbo Frame capable product

"solid build and quiet switch = happy chappy"
Well there isn't much to say about this switch. I've bought 4 of these and they are all working fine. This is basically the big brother of the FS108 switch. The FS108 is 100mb Full duplex switch ( full duplex meaning it can send and receive data at the same time), which theoretically gives 200mb...
Pros:
- small compact size
- metallic body
- passive cooling=no noise
Cons:
- gets a bit hot during summer
