Ideally I would go with the TP-Link TL-SG3210XHP-M2 because I'm starting to use and like PoE+ and the TP-Link Omada controller application is quite good, but that switch is quite expensive, has 2 loud fans and won't have enough ports if I move over all my 1 GbE and 2.5 GbE connections to it. The chip shortage and supply chain issues have increased prices and decreased availability. We covered most of them here and there hasn't been many/any new models since. There hasn't been much development in the 2.5 GbE managed switch category though. Other unmanaged 2.5 GbE switches have since been released from TRENDnet, TP-Link (5-port and 8-port versions), Ubiquiti, and QNAP has also released the 8-port version of this switch, the QSW-1108-8T. It was and still is the lowest-cost 2.5 GbE switch. It's unmanaged with few features so there's not much to talk about. It's been good, it's worked reliably, cool and quiet, keeping connections up and switching at 2.5 GbE wire speed (about 2.37 Gbit/s). For almost a year now I have been using a QNAP QSW-1105-5T to serve my 2.5 GbE switching needs.
