The first of the Green Ethernet products the DGS-1008D provides 3 key benefits to end users through its cutting edge innovative eco-friendly technology
Reduces power consumption & creates less heat
Extended product life
Reduces Operating Costs
Power Savings by Number of Connected Ports and Link Status
Computers do not require Internet access all
the time; neither do switches utilize all ports at all times. When a
computer or network equipment is shutdown, switches often remain on
and continue to consume considerable amount of power. With Green
Ethernet technology, D-Link switches can automatically detect link
status and reduce power usage of ports that are idle. Computers or
any connecting parties set to standby mode (not power off), however,
will not provide significant power savings.
Power Savings by Cable Length
The Green Ethernet switches have the ability to
analyze the length of any Ethernet cable connected to them for
adjustment of power usage accordingly. Shorter lengths require less
power.
Overall Power Savings Per Day
For a traditional switch, power consumption remains constant even when the ports are not in use.
In a standard workday scenario where PCs are used for 10 hours a day and powered off 14 hours a day, and connected to the
switch using 20 meter cables, D-Link's Green Ethernet can save up to
40%* power used for each system.
*Switch
uses switching power adapter. The cable length which PCs are connected
to switch is 20m cables.

backbone connections, or make Gigabit to the desktop a reality.
Power users in the home, office, workgroup, or creative production
environment can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster.
Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files across the network
instantly.
Power-Packed
The
D-Link DGS-1008D 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch features a
non-blocking switching architecture that filters and forwards
packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. An 8,000 MAC
address table provides scalability for even the largest networks.
Address learning and aging, 802.3x Flow Control for full duplex
mode, and back pressure flow control for half-duplex mode alleviates
traffic congestion and ensures reliable data transmission.
Designed using industry standards, it is compatible with virtually
all 10, 100, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices and other vendor
equipment. The D-Link DGS-1008D 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch
protects your existing network investments while providing you with
a straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit speeds.
Easy to
use
The
auto features of this gigabit switch make installation plug and play
and hassle-free. No configuring is required. Auto MDI/MDI-X
crossover on all ports eliminate the need for crossover cables or
uplink ports. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of
a network device (either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently
adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance.
It also features diagnostic LEDs which display status and activity,
allowing you to quickly detect and correct problems on the network.
*Power savings may vary depending on products used.

I've used D-Link, Linksys, Netgear and SMC networking hardware in the past, and have always had good luck with DLink. It's always worked, both with DLink hardware and other brands. Linksys stuff is also good, but if you ever have to deal with tech support, good luck. The only downside is the white color and it being prone to getting dirty quickly

This is a very good product. Now all my network is converted to gigabit! I don't know if the power saving features are really good (I don't have a power meter plug into it!) but as far as the switching works correctly I don't really care. For 55$ in the weekly special (with a DFE-530 gigabit LAN card included!) that was a nice deal.

This was a great little switch for me. About a year ago I wired my home for Cat5e, built a network closet under the stairs, and upgraded all my existing machines to Gigabit ethernet. You don't really get much about 200Mbps with Gigabit because of bus limitations, but it's still pretty good.

Purchased this switch for a small office network with a number of gigabit capable machines. As far as speeds go, the unit works as expected. Although, so does every other unmanaged gigabit switch. Where it has problems though is on a slight voltage drain. When our air conditioner comes on automatically, the switch seems to reset causing attached machines to lose connectivity for approx 10 seconds. Normally, I would fault the AC but the switch is connected to an UPS which will switch in at 106 volts. The UPS never switches in which suggests the low voltage is above 106v. You'd think it would have some tolerance.

Great switch for the price. If you have computers with gigabit ports and tend to transfer a lot of data you really will be amazed at the difference between 100Mbit and 1000Mbit. Makes network storage just about as quick as local drives.

It is a nice little switch for the price and integrated quite nicely into my network, upgrading my backbone to gigabit. It came with the inserts as well as the screws for the purposes of mounting it, as well as rubber feet to help stabilize it. I would, if need be, definitely purchase another one of these switches; although I wouldn't use this as a primary switch on a larger network, it makes a great switch to run servers off of as a means of keeping your servers cable runs from the rest of the network, but still organized together

Very satisfied with my purchase. This 8 port gigabit switch is now the backbone of my home network connecting numerous other switches and computers. Just so you're not confused; unmanaged simply means that there isn't an accessible firmware that you can configure...but its just a switch, what is there to manage? It works reliably. Recommended.

I love having the bandwidth, it is like having a hard drive from another computer connected directly to yours. I was able to attain speeds as high as 48megs per second, but this is only because the pci bus is limited to that, if I had a gigabit card running in a server it would probablty get something like 75 to 100 megs per second. Non the less it beats good old 100 mb hands down.
