Well built, works well as expected. [Posted on 2008-03-06]
I bought this to upgrade from a 5 year old 10/100 linksys switch. The quality of this product is immediately apparent. It's made of metal (aluminum I think) and has s very solid feel. The metal should help with heat dissipation, which was a problem with my old switch. The entire unit is real compact and is smaller than one would expect from looking at the picture. Performance, setup is great. No problems. btw...I have version 3.0 which is fanless.
SD2008 - Fantastic little Gigabit router [Posted on 2008-03-20]
I received the latest v3 revision of the Linksys SD2008 8-port Gigabit switch, it has no fan, therefore no fan noise, it's dead quiet. Other than the lights, you'd never know the thing was even powered on. I don't believe it's fair to rate a product based on fan noise anyway, but wanted to clarify that Linksys has removed the fan in the latest version of these switches. I also own the Linksys SR2016 16-port Gigabit switch, it does have a fan and does make some noise, but like the SD2008, it's a GREAT switch; it functions exactly as it should, and is a rock solid switch.
The SD2008 switch itself is incredibly small (about the size of a Nintendo DS) and has a metal chassis, so it's rugged and has a great overall appearance. You could easily fit this little bugger inside a desk drawer or a small shelf, it has a small footprint, which is a bonus considering this switch does have eight 10/100/1000 ports. I get near full 1 Gbps speeds over the SD2008 and have absolutely nothing negative to say about it. It's reliable, inexpensive, well-built, and rock solid. This one gets 5 stars.
The new model is fine, no fan, works great [Posted on 2008-03-26]
Cisco should give this a new product code because the existing reviews are for the earlier model and they have fixed the problems.
The model I received is fanless and works just fine. I have not had opportunity to check out the speed, but it seems to work just great.
SD2008 Ver 2.1 [Posted on 2008-04-04]
The one on my desk worked like a champ for about three months, then slowly began to experience degraded performance on multiple ports. We bought 8 of these dogs, and already 2 have gone completely Tango Uniform in less than a month.
Don't know about V3, but I would definitely steer clear of 2.1, unless you have no particular attachment to your money.
Great for a while, now ports are failing [Posted on 2008-04-06]
Was so excited when this switch came out, we bought one about 6 months ago and it was working great. But then, in recent weeks, we've noticed performance issues (for example, copying files between workstations and server suddenly was taking so much longer). After many hours of troubleshooting we found that one of the ports on the SD2008 v2.1 was the culprit. While the switch light indicated 1000mb connectivity, the switch was only getting speeds of 10mb on this particular port. We switched the port and it resolved the problem. However, we now are searching for another (more reliable) switch as the next port failure is probably on it's way.
