Amazing Speed - Joyce Ann Scofield, May 01, 2009

I got a new home computer and was transferring files from my work laptop using my old 10T hub. After over an hour, it was only one third of the way done. In frustration I bought this Asante switch. Once I hooked up the Asante, the whole thing copied in 12 minutes! At first I didn't believe it had actually copied everything. But it was all there, just 25 times faster. I should have got a faster switch years ago.

True speeds, reliable - Ceramic Silicon, Mar 22, 2009

Asanté is the best. We love their products, just wished they made a 12-port unit in this family. We're in a mixed environment (2 Windoze, 10 Macs, printers and NAS's) and the flow in our units are extremely stable and high-speed. We've done throughput tests and they're pretty much up there at maximum. We have 3 lines in Cat-5e and the rest are Cat-6. The runs are between 3m/12ft and 25m 85ft. We have 4 Asantés and would continue to have more. They truly are hassle-free.
