MokerLink 5-Port 2.5GbE Switch
A five-port 2.5GbE unmanaged switch in the budget class and a solid enthusiast-tier pick. It's the most practical low-cost way to get a NAS and PC onto 2.5-gigabit networking. Best for home users upgrading from gigabit who want faster local transfers without complexity. Skip it if you need a 10GbE backbone or managed features like VLANs, which this simple switch doesn't provide.
