    The Dell PowerConnect 2708 and the HP Procurve are very similar when in unmanaged mode.  The HP firmware is a little better but the Dell hardware is better.  I wouldn’t buy networking equipment used though unless it came with the original warranty.  One of the things I love about HP and Dell is that they have a lifetime warranty behind the switches….but it isn’t transferable (at least last I looked)

    Don’t want to hijack, but related ………..

    For YEARS I’ve been struggling with Bluray stuttering.

    “Latest stuttering hardware”

    Server: WHS2011, i5-650, 8GB, intel MB & NIC, 7 2TB WD EARS for Bluray w-MyMovies/TMT5, DriveBender Beta
    HTPC: Win7Pro 64,i7-2600K, 12GB, intel MB & NIC, OS on SSD
    (so should not be the hardware)
    Switch: D-Link DGS-1024D Gear on switch: Server, HTPC, Router,modem, Squeezebox Duet, 2 ea HDHRs, ,Onkyo 3008, 2 Xbox 360 extenders, Battery Back up.

    All gear rackmounted, so no long runs from switch for AV gear

    HDTV doesn’t stutter (HTPC & Xbox extender), but I do get the “occasional network error” on the xbox 360

    I’ve continually upgraded/changed gear software, cables, network throttling, you name it!

    The only thing I haven’t changed is the EARS drives and the SWITCH.

    So before I spend more on a new switch, any other things/settings to try?

    I know, no guarantees, but would the “PowerConnect 2816 Switch” help, is the “D-Link DGS-1024D” that bad?

    Tired of spending cash on solutions that don’t work.

    Thanks,
