Fast 10GbE speeds, Simple to set up, Relatively affordable
Noisy, Rudimentary software, Rather large
The XS708E is powerful and fast, but also large and noisy considering that it's just an eight-port switch. However, it is one of the lowest priced 10GbE options available, and it comes with a very nice lifetime warranty. The software is a weak point, tho...

Tremendous performance for the latest arrays/servers, Affordable pricing for SMBs, Extremely easy to setup and put into production
ProSafe Plus configuration utility only supports Windows
The Netgear ProSafe Plus XS708E brings 8 ports of high throughput 10GbE to SMBs at near $100 per port. It's hard to imagine a more effective instant performance upgrade for a small/branch office that's including 10GbE compute or storage in the network...
