Netgear has a strong reputation for delivering quality networking products at competitive prices. They recently sent me one of their GS724T Gigabit switches to use in my testing lab. The best complement I can pay the product is that it just works. Plug it in, connect the cables and I've got a fast pipe between my main workstation, servers and storage devices.

If you're looking at upgrading to a faster network or need to set up a small network for moving large amounts of data around (like video files) you won't go wrong with this box.
