Very good throughput for a small footprint
My model is the DGS-2205 with the 5V power adapter. Like a previous reviewer, I noticed that I wasn’t getting anywhere near gigabit speeds to my LaCie Ethernet Raid device. Well, that’s because the LaCie Ethernet Raid Device is a slow pig.
After connecting my Mac Book Pro and my Mac Pro to the switch, I started offloading data to the Mac Pro.
Sustained throughput was 320 megabits per second with long bursts up to 720 megabits per second. At this point, the hard drive on the Macbook Pro was the bottleneck. Normally, I don’t care for D-link products, but this little switch is quite the gem.
I’ve also noticed no noise from the unit, even when transferring large amounts of data at near wire speed.
Update (2/9/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Works Great, look for the new 5V version
Works Great, Clear light indicators, good product.
There are 2 versions of this on the market. There is a early version of 7V DC and the new rev 5V DC. I would take the 5V units only.

quiet, cool, and fast
I bought the Netgear Gigabit switches (5 and 8 ports) at work, as the case of metal appeals to me, and they seemed as if they were more severe and harder to damage. This may be true, but 2 of 5 died within months. So I try this and it so far. It runs very cool, and I have not heard the rumor that another reviewer noted, even if I use it in a nice quiet apt. I left a star that the plastic case is pretty cheap. Should not matter for my use, but it would be easy to damage this. Dave
