Awesome video Taylor. I’ve thought about upgrading my internal network to 10gig, even though my internet uplink is only 1gig. It would just be nice for the connection between my plex server and my NAS. I would hope it wouldn’t be $800 for me, as my network is not quite as complex as yours. Thanks for the vids as always, and have a Merry Christmas. Very thankful I came across your channel, always good stuff.
Thank you! You should be able to get the price down by only going one switch and possibly going for a switch with fewer ports. I'm glad you're liking the videos. Thank you for the kind words. Have a Merry Christmas!
Ha! Well, I am firmly in the camp of "most people"! I can totally see why this is a big upgrade for what you're doing, I just don't need that. Very interesting to know about this, none the less!
Haha it’s a fairly niche upgrade. It’s a shame it’s still so expensive. 25G and 40G are the new thing and if 10G is still this expensive then those are even more impractical.
Great video. Such an upgrade can be a considerably cheaper. There are cheap 6 port switches with two 10G ports (SFP+) for as low as $37 USD, which, would be acceptable if all you want to do is boost the speed of two nodes on the network.
Curious why you chose the 8 port TP-Link switch as opposed to the Unifi USW-Aggregation 8 port switch? You would've needed a couple ethernet SFPs for your connections and a short DAC cable to uplink to your UDM Pro. That would've made your entire network managed by your UDM Pro. Just curious.
I wondered the same thing. I can only assume ubiquiti being pricey in most regions. I noticed the 8 port usw aggregation is on sale in my region and $100 off. It's kinda tempting until you factor in all the DAC's and transceivers.
@@rayk32 that’s a good question and the TP Link was on sale for $100 off when I bought it. So, I just kinda went for it. I’ll look into that USW-Aggregation to see what’s it’s about and maybe I can use it in future upgrades.
Hey man I've asked you this question before so I'm sure you're tired of answering it, but is there still any point in trying to be a software developer? I've heard that Web Dev is getting oversaturated and Jr. dev jobs are drying up. It kinda feels like I missed the boat. Can you offer any advice or guidance?
I'll preface this with, I've been fortunate to have not been laid off, yet. So, as such, yes I think it's absolutely worth it. There's few jobs out there that are as fulfilling as Software Devlopment. Starting out as a Junior is rough due to all the learning and grinding. It gets way better though when you start wrapping your head around the concepts and can build something end to end. These companies you hear about replacing devs with AI are stupid af. It takes passionate, talented people to build quality systems and for that reason I think it'll still be in demand for quite some time.
Ive been interested in finding new routers that offer high bandwidth, but the results of my search were very disapointing. Internally you can make a 100Gb home network today. But if you look for routers that do that - there aren't any. There arent any 10Gb and not even 2.5 ones. Why is that? Why can we buy a 100Gb switch today, but even the most modern expensive router doesn't offer any high speed routing?
@@id104335409 yeah it’s a bit strange the standard is still 1Gb and upgrade is 10Gb for consumer products that are realistically affordable. I can’t imagine what a 100Gb router would cost.
Right?! Just one or two would be really helpful. I could've probably gotten a transciever for the SPF port and maybe used that to connect the NAS but that would still mean I didn't have 10G for other devices. I really wish the 10G switches were cheaper.
Interesting video as always! Great work, keep them coming!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

That's pretty low for 10G. That would be a great option for someone looking for fewer 10G ports.
Careful with hi-speed blower and fans. Great video, keep it up. 🎉
@@albertilagan you’re right, keeping it on there for too long could damage the bearings. Thanks!
Nice video. 9.39 is full 10 gigabit for anyone that doesn’t know.
@@DavidK-r6m thanks! Ok, sweet! So, the full throughput was available.
great video, thanks!

@@TaylorBrauer $269 regular price in the US.
Hello there 🙂, me too intresting in this, best regards Jonas
Thank you! Networking is super fun, when it all comes together and works.
I’m upgrading to 10gb network
That's exciting! What are you getting/using it for, if you don't mind sharing?

It's too bad the UDM Pro or Pro Max doesn't have a 10gbe port just the spf port.
