Please read my review for the 5-port gigabit switch. Same thing applies to this 8-port gigabit switch. The product works flawlessly. Passive cooling system so it is quiet and cool to the touch (no overheating). FAST! LED indicators on the front. Nice small power supply (same with the 5-port version). I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.
This NETGEAR Gigabit unmanaged switch helps businesses cost effectively expand their network to Gigabit speeds and high port counts. The GS105 switch comes with 5 Gigabit copper ports in a desktop metal case and is wall-mountable. This switch is energy-efficient, built to last, and rigorously tested to provide the reliability businesses need. 802.1p traffic prioritization and jumbo frame support allow for seamless integration with sophisticated networks.

I purchased this 5-port gigabit switch awhile ago and works beautifully. Very impressive build. The unit has a metallic case instead of plastic. And the unit has a passive cooling system which makes it very quiet compared to some other gigabit switches that have fans built into them. I have both the 5-port gigabit and the 8-port gigabit switches being used on my home network. No software needed, just plug and play and forget about it. I would definitely recommend this product to my friends and any other person asking on which switch is worthy for their hard-earned money.
