Nice little piece of gear! Thanks for your interest in Linux, it's great to see tech channels like yours promoting it. Can't wait to see what's coming on your new channel !! Keep up the great work.
My issue has always been not having enough 10Gbe ports and finding a reasonable 10GbE switch with more than 2 ports - I already have a ASUS 10gbe switch and a QNAP 2.5 GbE and have slowly been moving away from 1gb switches and gear, ive also been disappointed with Thunderbolt 3 transfer speeds. I was considering the QNAP Qhora 10Gbe router but again limited 10gbe ports. The TPLink TL-SX105 satisfies those concerns and if needed i can move the asus switch or remove it, in fact i can remove all other switches and probably save electricity $$
Don't buy the 8port version for home use, they get crazy noisy. Get the 5port fan-less version if noise is a factor and you don't need the extra ports.
So now you can fully utilize your 10 gig NIC, Nick. (sorry, I am still waiting for the pun 😂 ) Spira, Nautilus and Nibelheim? So the servers are named after Final Fantasy locations. What about the workstations, are they named after famous skaters, like Mullen or Hawk? 😅 About the "secret": is that where the NVME only server will be introduced? (I hope I don't spoil too much, but you mentioned it a while ago on the Asustor video
Yep NVMe only server is coming REALLLLLLY soon ;) Servers and workstations are all named after Final Fantasy locations. I'm such a nerd. We have Besaid, Midgar, Zanarkand, Altissia, Acedemia, Junon and a stack of others :P
Yooo I was looking at two of these same models last night to replace my 1gbe switches! Already have a 12 port qnap one in my room but yeah need more network in more rooms
@@GearSeekers Issue for me is the 5 ports, might have to go TP-Link SG108-M2 but its 2.5, still better, unless the 8 port version of this one comes soon like you say 😁
I saw that Mwave already had the listing for the 8 port one www.mwave.com.au/product/tplink-tlsx1008-8port-10g-desktoprackmount-switch-ac43005?gclid=CjwKCAjw1uiEBhBzEiwAO9B_HfqwEyDUkP5F93gphNrLCQjBZHf7DfBK0R49a1Qg-g1ujavGroSGlhoCDQAQAvD_BwE
Thanks for bringing this product to my attention the problem with 10gig is that it was really designed for the data center. So vendors will put tons of SFP+ ports on there devices in a data center configuration that's great because I can connect with fiber, copper, or dac. However, what if I just want RJ45 that's where the problem comes in not many vendors make 10gig with just RJ45 and if they do it's very expensive.
That's the beauty of sfp+ man, you can just stick an rj45 sfp+ module in there! I think in general 10g-baset isn't advised due to the higher power requirements.
For those who want a dum simple 10G switch, I guess is ok, however, you have the Unifi switch flex XG 10G fully managed for 300USD that is a much better solution.
I was looking at the Asustor 2.5Gbe 5 port switch but this video changed my mind to consider this model. Love the way how the whole video is produced, well done!
I've had my eye on this. Just ran Cat6 in my walls and would love a 10Gb switch. I only wish it had some adapter plates for a rack. Maybe I'll spring for the 8-port.
Yeah I reckon if you want to rackmount wait for the 8 port. It's called the TP-SX1008 if you're keen to look it up. I think it releases at the end of June/Start of July.
We've been working on content for it in the background so we have a little bit of a backlog. I think the first video will be something fresh from System76 ;)
Not enough vent holes for passive cooling. I opted to buy the TRENDnet TEG-S750 5-Port 10GbE Switch instead which has a lot more holes on the sides for passive cooling.
Would love to know if this can pass vlan traffic. I know dumb switches generally don't, but there are some that do. I'm looking at the unifi XG but that only has 4 ports, ideally I need 5, but the vlan traffic is something I would like to know.
You ever looked at Qnap? I guess this video is over a year old, but I admittedly needed a bit different of a solution, similar price point though, managed 2x 10gbE(both SFP and rj45), with 8 2.5gb rj45 ports and a com port. They've been pushing into higher speed network devices a fair bit lately with reasonable pricing, they also have a SoHo 10gbe router(all in one wireless, etc.) with some neat features as well. edit: Just wanted to add, my switch is the QSW-M2108-2C, it does have active cooling but it is a very quiet fan nearly any PC fan would overpower it in noise...but in a completely silent room you can hear it, albeit still quite quiet.
Thanks for the review . Unfortunately, doesn't seem to be available in the U.S. At least couldn't find it on Amazon and couple other popular online sellers.
Pretty sure TP-Link are the best in this area. Especially if you consider $$$ to performance. I am sure there are more professional ones out there but more expensive.
I don't understand people trying to find cheap 10g switches. Switches are just the drop in the bucket. You still need all the NICs which is where the big money is at.
@@GearSeekers I suppose. I've considered doing it for my next upgrade, but after some self debating I'm leaning more towards doing fiber for all my 10g. I personally feel it would work and scale better for me than sticking with RJ-45.
Interesting... Aussies getting first dibs on a impressive 10G switch... grats, personally ill buy one when it goes on sale on the US, no fans on 10GE = priceless. Is the 8port fanless?
@@GearSeekers jk, however at the data center I used to worked for. Basically D-lxxk, tp-lxxk, totolxxk, plus zy__l has a pretty bad reputation when it comes to reliability, mainly because they make their professional product with same quality of low-end product. We picked Cisco everytime.
@@GearSeekers thanks for the tip after Scorptec failed to deliver, after Amazon PCLive vendor cancelled, ordered from MWave on Thursay 5th, they finally posted/shipped the purchased item on the 11th stating Covid restrictions as an excuse. Waiting for it to be delivered. No positive comments about MWave lengthy delay though.
@@GearSeekers thanks for the tip - I finally got hold of the switch through MWave it took them 7 days to post it though which was extremely disappointing, once posted it took only 2 days to arrive. When are businesses going to stop using Covid as an excuse for poor service, you'd think they'd have enough experience by now to make the needed changes. Any im very happy with the purchase and wanted to say thanks.
I am Aussie however it's not just about being Australian. I don't get to choose where our audience is from mate. If you actually watched the video and not just commented from the thumbnail and video title you'd know the deal. I put the Aussie price people complain. I put the US price people complain. No matter what I do people complain.
328 million Population vs 25 million kinda obvious why you have more viewers from the US. but when you advertise being Aussie like is on your About page and twitter etc... i kinda expected content for Australians otherwise why promote being an Aussie? If Australians cannot even get content for Australia from Australian youtubers who tf are we to go to for Aussie tech reviews? As for not watching the video i googled the model number before watching as i was excited to see what appeared to be a cheap 10G switch based on the title to be met with disappointment. Kinda my fault for expecting an Australian youtuber to have AUD prices in the title if you chose to have any price in a title. Anyway not here to debate or argue, have a good one.
@@GearSeekers I'm just messing with you, you mentioned it like 4 times in the video and I thought it would be funny to make that joke :D Looks like a great switch but a bit expensive for my taste. Will surely get the 2.5GbE 8 port version though!
@@GearSeekers Those who don't like being treated like Beta customers for 6 years. Ubiquity firmware has some interesting drawbacks i've seen over the years.
Wow this actually is worth buying
Nice little piece of gear! Thanks for your interest in Linux, it's great to see tech channels like yours promoting it. Can't wait to see what's coming on your new channel !! Keep up the great work.
I'm reading a lot of negative feedback of the terrible fan noise, how is keeping up? Ah yours is 5 ports, 8 port has a fan
Quick question, how is the durability and heat? I have been reading reviews that it gets very hot and stops working after a certain amount of months 😕
My issue has always been not having enough 10Gbe ports and finding a reasonable 10GbE switch with more than 2 ports - I already have a ASUS 10gbe switch and a QNAP 2.5 GbE and have slowly been moving away from 1gb switches and gear, ive also been disappointed with Thunderbolt 3 transfer speeds.

Is the 5 port version quiet or silent?
unmanaged?! check out Zyxel SGX1250-12, 4 10GBe ports but managed with 8x 1Gbe for less
So now you can fully utilize your 10 gig NIC, Nick.

Not enough vent holes for passive cooling. I opted to buy the TRENDnet TEG-S750 5-Port 10GbE Switch instead which has a lot more holes on the sides for passive cooling.
Use velcro to mount it.
Easy to use and flexible.
Kernel control yeaah!!
$500 AU. ouch.. 10GB is still a premium, an upgrade I will make oneday.. not bothering with 2.5 or 5gb, they are just stopgaps as far as im concerned.

Top of the morning Mate...
Where did you purchase this product? Just contacted TPLINK, and the item is not yet released.
Do they have a rack mount version of the switch? I’d even be ok with a mounting kit and bolts to the rack and has a slot for the switch.
