I bought this switch for subsequent supply of a detached house with LAN ports and have all 24 ports in use. The throughput is very good; even with a lot of load on all ports, I have not experienced any restriction on the part of the switch. As stated earlier, the newer model is only sold with quiet fan (Office-compatible), in addition hang the three groups of 8 ports directly together and the status LEDs are all on the left of the LAN ports. The power consumption is in order: Without a single LAN device, the switch consumes 8,3W; per active LAN port come about 0.4W to about 18-20W so consumed with 24 devices.
Overall a very good and round product that is ideal for LAN parties, office or server room.
