Can you *please* start testing how the unmanaged switches handle VLAN-tagged frames? It's undefined for unmanaged switches in general, but some will e.g. strip VLAN tags out, others will pass them on, some could drop them, etc. Knowing how these unmanaged switchs react to being placed in a VLAN-aware environment may enable someone to mix them in even if they're unmanaged.

Those "other vendors" are a little slower than these Chinese brands, but I'm betting we'll see companies like TP-Link give us 4-port (5-port) and 8-port (9-port) versions as soon as they start incorporating these seemingly super affordable Realtek RTL8373+RTL8224 solutions. I'm hoping that Realtek follows up with some slightly higher-end versions of the RTL8373+RTL8224 solution with some management, ability to do some VLAN tagging, frame size modification, etc, nothing crazy, add some simple management to give us something that many of us would feel more comfortable using in an office or prosumer scenario. As of right now, I would never connect any of these four brands to any device with any sort of sensitive data until I saw an in-depth security audit ensuring that there aren't backdoors or other hidden gems baked into these switches.

This is exactly what I've been looking for! So many other switches you guys have been covering have only been 4 or 5 ports. With this you get 8 ports plus the SFP port (which I've also been looking for). Thanks Patrick and the rest of the team for working on this! :D

I just got a couple of the Sodala ones so I could utilize the 2.5G ethernet on my new systems in my office and have a fiber uplink to my rack. Pretty much perfect for what I needed.

Thanks for the review Patrick! I agree, I am waiting for the major switch vendors like Netgear, Qnap, etc to make something like this. I run a Netgear GS series 16 port gigabit and would upgrade immediately if they released 2.5Gbe gear tech..

I have been using a Horaco version for about a month. I was genuinely surprised when the blurb about power usage was proven to be true. I use the unit fully populated 6x 2.5, 2x 1gbit and the 10G SFP+ to my workstation. No issues at all so far. The only difference in my implementation is that I do not use the included power brick as this was supplied as US with a UK adapter. I just wish there was a larger version as the TP-Link TL-SH1832 is a massive pain to import.

I went to buy the Sodola from the previous video. While shopping I saw the 8+1SFp version and figured since the Sodola 6 got such raves from ServTheHome I would risk it and go with the 8+1SFp. Thus far (3 days) I have been quite happy with it. Having the SFp to talk at 10GB with our MikroTik and open up a regular port has been a real benefit.

Since a lot of Prosumer/older enterprise gear still doesn't behave well with 2.5Gb links.

The heat that will be generated by a Wifi router with multiple 2.5Gbps RJ45 LAN is going to be pretty ridiculous That is likely the reason the TPLINK BE900 with 4x 2.5Gbps LAN and 2x 10Gbps RJ45 WAN/LAN is 26cm tall by 30cm deep, most of that mass is likely heat-sinks

I have two Horaco 5-port switches in use and I am satisfied. One is downstairs and one is upstairs. The 5 port switches have 4 ports on an IC under the heat sink, the 5th port has its own IC and there is also the SFP+ port. I also tried two fiber SFPs to connect both switches. This works perfectly with 10GBit. For testing, I also got an SFP to 2.5GBit LAN module that works perfectly. The only downside was that the power adapters do not come with European plugs but with US plugs. An adapter is required. The power adapters also work with 240 Volts 50 Hz. With the small price difference, the 8 port only costs 10 to 20 $€£ more than the 5 port. Both also have the SFP+ port.

I bought the Horaco one for 58€ based on the review. I bought it because of the very low energy consumption and the values from this test matches my own measurements. Thank you !

I recently discovered this channel and fell in love with it due to the products reviewed on it. And then it started to feel incomplete. Mostly due to the comprehensiveness of testing. For example in this review, it feel that different routing scenarios would be helpful to understand the capabilities of those units. For example ports 1+2+5+6 communicating with the 10Gig and the rest between them. In videos about mini PCs with multiple ports, I'd love to see more detailed BIOS overview, VFIO configuration, GPU capabilities (can it handle 4K HDR for example). Those little boxes can be used for many purposes. Including combination of few. For example, I'd love to have one that have 3-4 2.5Gig ports, 1-2 10Gig ports, Wi-Fi card with antennas option and at least 2 storage slots (1 can be SATA). And with all that HW, i'd want it to run a host like proxmox with following VMs: general purpose OS for KODI + virtualized router + virtualized NAS. Maybe the first VM will be the host if I can't figure out how to share the iGPU with host. So I'd love to see more in depth reviews of those units.

What I want is a switch with 4x 2.5, and 1x 10gSFP+ uplink that runs UI. That would be the perfect desktop switch for my home/office desk.

that's pretty cool. Are there any low-power managed 2.5G switches? I'm currently using mikrotik RB260GSP and I love them for having a powerful management interface and passive POE(because it can be passed through). Even ignoring price I can't find anything that fits those requirements right now.

Are there any good similar switches with more ports? I don't expect a lot of concurrent use, but it's nice to have everything wired up in one location and available for use.

I'm guessing that Realtek chip is mostly for use in home routers that traditionally contain a similar 1Gbps or 100Mbps chip connected to the embedded CPU. If so, I suspect a small CPU could turn it into a managed switch configured entirely over standard SNMP with IPv6 automatic addressing.

Would like to see some 5-ports version with the same power efficiency of the new Realtek chips.

Segment transition music is booming

Have you tested, or measured, or do you know the latency of these switches? That influences real life experience more than theoretic throughput. I have two switches in my home LAN and both are non-blocking. The old HP ProCurve has a significantly lower latency (it's about 50% of the other switch) and gives me a much snappier experience. Packet size is default. The network is not noisy and resends ~never happen, so I could go longer from that perspective, but prefer default and some use cases really benefit from the default package size.

Nice, finally we have them at decent prices.

A few very minor firmware bugs aside (pertaining to using STMP at the same time as using LACP lags), these are very solid value and excellent performers for the money.

I wonder what the actual switching capacity of these is. My Arista 32 Port 40GbE switch does ~3Tbit/s, so it can actually handle a few of the ports under full load at the same time, but that comes with very high costs... I wonder if they saved the money on switching capacity here

regarding the brand names, i'm guessing it's along the lines of LTT's video on why Amazon has such weird brand names (i should know; i work there 😩... soooo many of those weird freakin' brand names. i feel they name by wheel of fortune spins but for letters)
