Outstanding Value
(5 out of 5) by Mitchell Small on Aug 31, 2000 (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA)I bought one of these switches shortly after they first became available. Even though I paid the full retail price, it was money well spent. This switch performs flawlessly under any workload. I am using this switch in an office environment with five PC's attached, plus an occaisonal laptop, with an 8 port minihub connected to the uplink port. The minihub handles traffic going to the external print servers and the DSS-8+ switch carries data traffic. Using a mix of NIC's and Microsoft operating systems, all PC's are communicating at the full bandwidth of 100 Mbps in Full Duplex for a throughput of 200 Mbps. What more need be said?

Excellent Low Cost Switch
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Oct 20, 2000I love this switch. I purchased it when it cost much more than this, but I would still pay the price I paid then for it. My network went from slow to fast in about 5 minutes. I had a game party with 10 other people and a Linksys switch cascaded off of this onw and we had zero lag, and had a blast. (Playing QIII, Codename: Eagle, Need for Speed: Porsche) At the price it is now, I'm seriously considering buying another one. :)

Totally Easy
(5 out of 5) by David Ohrtman on Sep 6, 2005 (Ortonville, Mn)DSS-8 is plug it in and walk away. Very simple. It also has a unique admin interface that you can access. You can set port forwarding, DMZ, Internal Static ip's, etc. Very Very Nice. The whole D Link line is teriffic. I am a sys admin and residential computer tech and use D Link Exclusively.

Owned for past 6 Months - Still Working - No Problems
(5 out of 5) by Wayne on Aug 16, 2001 (FL)I bought his about 6 months ago, and it sure wasn't [the price] it is now... But I made sure then that i got one without a fan. It is much quieter, and with no moving parts i am sure it wont go bad ever.
The only thing that will make me replace this is when the standard is 1000MB/s instaed of the 100MB now. But that wont be much longer.
Highly Recommended

Very well crafted and reliable
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Dec 9, 2000 (Thornton, CO United States)I've been using one of these D-Link switches for almost a year with high performance, and absolutely zero trouble. Like one other reviewer, I paid much more, and would do it again. Slim profile and good mount points mean you can put it almost anywhere. Great for the small or home office users who want true 100 megabit performance, without headaches.
