Network Switch - eviltoast

I’m looking at getting a 10 gigabit network switch. I only have 3 devices that could use that speed right now but I do plan on upgrading things over time.

Any recommendations?

    I bought all the gear to do 10gbe but ultimately went back to 1gig simply because the power consumption. The switch alone used 20w at idle and each NIC burned 8w and I couldn’t justify it.

      Very reasonable. FWIW, sfp uses way less power than rj45 for 10gbe if that’s an option.
