Good, but don't mistake it for a fully gigabit switch
(5 out of 5) by Bemace on Oct 23, 2003 (Minnesota)This type of switch certainly has its place, but make sure you realize that this switch only has one gigabit port. The rest are 10/100 ports.
This is good for connecting a bunch of 10/100 computers to a 1000 network. However, if your computers has a gigabit card, you'll want a switch with all gigabit ports to get the full speed.

My workplace has set up this switch and using the switch is amazing (fast)!!
Make sure that you have a Gigabit Ethernet card to make full use of this switch.
