Review: TRENDnet 5-port Unmanaged 2.5G Switch

Review: TRENDnet 5-port Unmanaged 2.5G Switch

We review the TEG-S350 switch from TRENDnet. We've been evangelizing for years now to achieve faster Ethernet. That trend has started towards PC motherboards, NAS units, and routers; but lagging behind are affordable multi GigE switches.

Read the review here.

I've been at 2.5 gbps in my home network for almost two years now ( caught a nice mega-discount on an otherwise €400 managed switch ), and I love it.

There were no changes at all to the cables, just new cheapo 2.5g cards from AliExpress and Amazon, besiede one new mobo which has an Intel 225 chip on it... and overall, everything moves smoothly over the network and I can copy files without any issue without clogging the internet (like it happened before with 1g)

Some people say "why not move straight to 10 gbits?"... because it's way too expensive, and also complete overkill for home use.
2.5 gbps is slightly faster than usual HDDs, removing the network bottleneck, but 10 gbps is so much faster that it would never be fully utilized in a home environment. (Copying large files from SSD to SSD happens literally once in a blue moon)

Yeah just bought 3 of there 8 port 2.5's and beta testing Googles 2 gig internet. I looked at trying to go 10g since every PC in the house has a 10gig port but they are way over priced think I got my 8 port 2.5 for like 150. I dont think 10g is a overkill it would be nice to be able to copy files between PCs that actually have newer m.2s at speed they can handle instead of HDD speeds lol even at 2.5g. Always in pursuit of faster transfers just like I didnt need to go from a 5.2ghz oc 10900k to a 5950x with 2x WD 850 2tb in raid. Just like I didnt need a 3090 EVGA and my 13y son surely didnt need a 3090 but with all the ques and line I put myself in I ended up with 2 Zotac 3090s and 2 EVGA FTW3 3090s. Just have to fill that need for speed lol

In other words, you're rich... congrats.

The rest of us, well, most don't even need 2.5 tbh, or even 1. Or even wired ...
SmartTV's that people use to watch Netflix usually have only 100mbps NIC inside, because that's more than enough.

For enthusiasts which are not exactly overflowing with money, 2.5g wired is great for the reasons I described above.
