The graphical interface (via a web browser) is quite well made (it is possible to install the NetGear software that goes well but it does not give access to all functions of the switch), some will say it's a bit slow but compared to the equipment pro there is no big difference. Performance is more than adequate, "iperf" gives me an average around 970MB / s. When I make transfers to discs mounted iSCSI cards capped at 120MB! (Tests between a NAS [1000 adapter intel pro / PT] and MicroServer HP Gen8 [Broadcom NetXtrem] Cat5e cables [6m for longer]). I would give more details when I have finished configuring link aggregation and test other functions.
