I needed a few more than 16 ports and was using two unmanaged 8 port Gb switches along with a 16 port 10/100 switch. Replaced all that. Although it is a few years old, the 240WS meets my needs very well. I was immediately able to force a downlink connection to a cascading Gb switch into full duplex Gb mode very simply. Could not do that with the unmanged switches. I can also do port mirroring for network monitoring. A nice side-effect was to organize my wiring area and get rid of multiple power supplies for the old switches. It has a number of other features for more complex networks that I will probably never use - Jumbo frames, VLANs, fiber ports, trunking, SNMP traps, and STP. At $44 it compared very favorably to new, unmanaged 16 port Gb switches.

The device was fully functional, except the internal fans were on their way out. I replaced the fans with higher quality quieter fans and now it is both cooler and quieter.
