welcome to my unboxing of a pretty good value net cure switch this is from their pro series it is the m GS 72 40 - 300 na s and it is a 24 port gigabit smart switch with web-based management and so yeah if you're looking for basically if you need a smart switch okay with web-based management and you need a bunch of gigabit ports because most inexpensive switches are still using ten hundred ports for the bulk of them this is pretty much the one to get it's around the $200 mark and we're going to be using this for a really cool little project where we show you how with okay it's not cheap but for about a thousand bucks plus drives you can turn your home storage server into a four gigabit home storage server that is capable of streaming one gigabit per second so a gigabit network connection to multiple computers within your house all concurrently which means at the same time so on the front we find a Netgear logo we find some indicators for the various 24 ports including their speed their link activity so Green is for gigabit yellow is for 100 megabit you can see we've got 24 port okay the sec so these two right here are fiber modules I was checking to see if they were ten gigabit capable but it makes sense that their module bays sorry sorry sorry they're not modules they're empty they have placeholders in them so yeah it would make sense that on a $200 switch they're not so you can put one gig fiber modules in here which will allow you to run over greater distances if you have the desire to do that pretty much okay factory default reset okay and here you can see a beefy looking heatsink going on and we've got a power port and some more ventilations more beefy looking these things you can tell the power supply is here it comes with a pretty cool little chart that tells you all about NIC years various switches and the features they have which is what we handle II looked at this one for so you can see this is a smart managed switch whereas when you get into the more expensive stuff you get into the Poli notes which is which has more features and could do all kinds of like more awesome and interesting stuff so the gs-7 2040 is the one that we're looking at here which is it's got like assault but all kinds of great stuff like max bandwidth it's capable of mean time between failure which is around 500,000 hours 21.5 watts of power consumption and the lifetime warranty on the hardware and the power supply it doesn't include much although it does include a useful little disk that has an application that allows you to easily plug your switch into your network and then not have to try and figure out what address to type in to access it it'll just find it on the network and then it'll tell you what the IP is so resource CD and as well as your documentation for the switch itself I think that's pretty much it we're just unboxing this so that we can get on with that project so it's like saying something to me I don't know what he's saying to me I don't know he was telling me to say lifetime warranty um which I'm pretty sure I already said so don't forget to subscribe - tech tips from one boxing's reviews and other computer videos well Slick's gonna fail in the video I guess I I deserve to have one fail as well this comes with a power cable as well as ears for mounting it into a into a rack and screws for mounting it into a rack
