Step asside Linksys, DLINK, Cisco. A Better switch is here.
(5 out of 5) by M. Zietlow on Oct 31, 2008 (SD USA)These are great switches and just as fast as the compitition with ONE exception.. THEY DONT BREAK!
I've used them all and the major complaint I have with most home switches is the HEAT they generate. You can put money down that Your Cisco Linksys or DLINK switch is going to last about a year. They do give you a warranty and an easy replacement but I would rather buy a switch that I didnt need to exorcise the return policy every 1-2 years thank you very much.
The ProCurve Switches use external brick type power supplies that keep the heat away from your switch processor. This May be an issue for Business applications that use rack mounting, but for home use ProCurve hits a Home Run!

A great home gigabit switch
(5 out of 5) by footnote on Sep 12, 2008 (Athens, GA USA)I have this switch in the basement of my house, connecting the ethernet network for the home. It has a great build quality, is compact without sacrificing anything, and stays very cool. Plus the lifetime warranty can't be beat!

Rock solid
(5 out of 5) by R. Mesnard on Oct 4, 2008 (Richmond, VA)Replaced a malfunctioning Netgear with this Procurve. I have FIOS (30Meg down) and the poor little Netgear just couldn't handle it. Overheated and rebooted regularly. The Procurve runs cool and it's been flawless since installation (months ago). Highly recommended.

HP ProCurve switch 1400-8G
(4 out of 5) by Fred Mendoza on Feb 25, 2009 (Chicago)Pros:
- Feels solid and looks sturdy
- Just plug network cables in and then power into wall and you're ready to go
- I like the LED's telling me which lines are connected and which are gigabit speeds
- It's been running a month and have not had to reboot
Cons:
- None so far

Works
(5 out of 5) by Gregory Brickner on Dec 20, 2008 (Camp Hill, PA)I'm not a techie so it was easy for this product to meet my expectations. I took it out of the box and plugged it in, attached my network and voila! it worked. Has been running a few months now without any hitches.
