I probably know from nothing, but I have had completely superior service from my Dell PowerConnect 2716 switches. I recall that they do offer a 2724 switch also. They initially come /Not Managed/, but making them /managed/ is not a big deal per the enclosed directions. So far, this pair of switches have been solid in a /Not Managed/ mode. Solid here. I look elsewhere for suspect network (LAN) glitches. JMHO.

I'm looking for a durable, 24 port switch, and I'm thinking I should go managed so that I can set some of the ports to have guaranteed amount of bandwidth because occasionally a machine of lower importance will go nuts and grab all the bandwidth on my current unmanaged switch (at least, that's what appears to be happening.) Does this makes sense, and if so, what makes/models are good? T
