What's great about it: fast and easy.
One thing many don't realize is that a wired connection will perform faster than wireless.... For gigabit network speeds this is ideal.....could be cheaper price, but overall, not too bad.

What's great about it: does what it's supposed to, and is easy to set up
Just bought a 2nd one of these recently. The first one has been in place for over a year, and has never had any problems. It just works. I have an ethernet ran from my router in another room to this switch at my HT system which runs ethernet to my xbox, blu-ray, and wdtv. I've never had any issues with it all, just plug it in, and it does its thing.

What's great about it: It support 110 and 220 power
What's not so great: Not all glitz and glam but then again its a switch not a glamour shot
I have looked at and used a couple different models of switches. I do installations of high end storage products for a a reseller and I only use the switch when I do installs. Most specifcally I need it when I am in a datacenter where power is traditionally 220v for the price this thing rocks. Can't beat the price either.

What's great about it: Cheap, Quick, Good Value.
This is a quick fix to not enough ports to run all your stuff. While not a top of the line switch, it is a good value, and is quite good.

What's great about it: It works nicely
What's not so great: Price is a bit high for the product that could be a lot less.
I got this product because my apple airport extreme only has 3 gigabit ports. I needed a new switch. Started out with the 10/100 but since the router has a gigabit ports so I figured why not go for broke and get something that is newer tech. So far I love it and it is working well.
