Dead!!! After only 2 months in use.
This review is from: SMC Networks SMC8508T 10/100/1000Mbps Unmanaged 8 Ports Jumbo Frame SupPort Rack Mountable Switches (Electronics) Avoid SMC.1. My SMC8508T was serving as my backbone switch, it died completely (no power) on a busy workday, bringing down our entire network.2. You have to call "Tech Support" in INDIA (confirmed with SMC that is where it is outsourced to), decipher what they are saying, then get a Case #, then call "Customer Support...

Inexpensive jumbo frame switch
This review is from: SMC Networks SMC8508T 10/100/1000Mbps Unmanaged 8 Ports Jumbo Frame SupPort Rack Mountable Switches (Personal Computers) For those of you that need a small switch that can support jumbo frames, this (and it's 5-port brother, SMC8505T) are great solutions. I do not know of any other vendor that supports jumbo frames on its smaller switches and some don't even do it on their larger switches. Also, unlike what a previous reviewer said, you do not have to have...

Best 8-port, unmanaged GigE switch I could find
This review is from: SMC Networks SMC8508T 10/100/1000Mbps Unmanaged 8 Ports Jumbo Frame SupPort Rack Mountable Switches (Personal Computers) Very few gigabit switches support jumbo frames. Very few people care. If you do care, you'll be pleased to know that this switch supports up to 9 KB MTU. However, all machines connected to this switch (directly, or via other layer 2 switches) must be configured to use the same MTU. So, most people won't & shouldn't bother with it.

Works as Advertised!
This review is from: SMC Networks SMC8508T 10/100/1000Mbps Unmanaged 8 Ports Jumbo Frame SupPort Rack Mountable Switches (Personal Computers) Did a lot of research and this was a top choice - and most importantly there were NO problems with installation - it could not have been smoother - and it works great to!!!

Customer support is atrocious
This review is from: SMC Networks SMC8508T 10/100/1000Mbps Unmanaged 8 Ports Jumbo Frame SupPort Rack Mountable Switches (Personal Computers) The title speaks for itself. Watch out for their lifetime limited warranty, it's good for about a year and a half. I guess that must be the lifetime of some kind of horsefly or something.Avoid SMC at any expense.

Plug-and-play simplicity. Supports Jumbo Frames unlike my Gigabit 5-port Linksys
This review is from: SMC Networks SMC8508T 10/100/1000Mbps Unmanaged 8 Ports Jumbo Frame SupPort Rack Mountable Switches (Personal Computers) I love the metal casing. Every networking kit should be like this, as I�m tired of fancy plastic cases that then can�t be stacked along other devices.Oh, did I mention that it supports "Jumbo Frames" up to 9k in size?. I tested it with the Gigabit Linkstation and it was faster than my old Linksys.Read ...

Customer support is nill
This review is from: SMC Networks SMC8508T 10/100/1000Mbps Unmanaged 8 Ports Jumbo Frame SupPort Rack Mountable Switches (Personal Computers) I agree with the others who posted after they encountered a problem with the product. This product is fabulous when it works, but if if goes dead on you, you are own your own. It worked great for a few months before it died. I tried to negotiate customer support with a very poor telephone connection to India, speaking with a person who und...

Not As Advertised
This review is from: SMC Networks SMC8508T 10/100/1000Mbps Unmanaged 8 Ports Jumbo Frame SupPort Rack Mountable Switches (Personal Computers) In building out a DC powered rack,we were looking specifically for a 12VDC powered rack-mountable switch. The unit arrived as a 9V, with attached documentation "included power supply as required" in the specification. So we threw it out, and have ordered a different unit. For a home user, it would make no difference... but if a unit is ...

Best 5- or 8-port GigE unmanaged switch around
This review is from: SMC Networks SMC8508T 10/100/1000Mbps Unmanaged 8 Ports Jumbo Frame SupPort Rack Mountable Switches (Personal Computers) Rack-mountable, 1U, low power consumption (low heat), and support for JUMBO FRAMES make this -- hands down -- the best value for a Gigabit Ethernet switch, even at $50 or $100 more than the price above.Bought mine about a year ago and it's been chugging along beautifully ever since. I tested the SMC switch bandwidth against a L...
