00:00Okay, so here's the thing about home server racks, everybody spends all their money on drives and
00:04CPU, then bottlenecks the whole thing with a cheap switch. I went down a serious rabbit hole hunting
00:10for 10 GSFP plus switches that don't cost more than the server itself, and honestly, I found
00:155 deals that are genuinely worth your money right now. Let's get into them. First up, the Sheikah
00:21Store 2.5 GPO plus switch, and this is the one I'd buy for most people. You get 100 watts
00:27of
00:28PO to feed your access points in cameras, DHCP support, and two 10 GSFP plus ports for the uplink
00:33all in a simple managed package you can actually configure without a networking degree. At $110.48,
00:41with almost 5,000 sold and a 4.7 rating, that's a really easy call.
00:46Number 2 is a little different, it's not a switch, it's the thing that makes your switch useful.
00:51This 10 GSFP plus transceiver flips one of your fiber ports into a standard RJ45 copper port,
00:58so you can plug a NAS or a desktop straight in without buying a 10G network card.
01:03$13.40, nearly 4,900 sold, 4.6 stars. Grab two while you're at it.
01:11Then there's this 96W 2.5 G6 port PO switch, and this is the budget hero of the list.
01:17Six 2.5 gigabit PO ports plus 10 GSFP plus slots means you can power a bunch of cameras or
01:23APs and
01:24still push real bandwidth between them. $58.18, 4,818 sold, 4.7 stars, that's absurd value if
01:33you're building out a small rack on a tight budget. Number 4 is the full 10 gigabit home
01:38server switch, and this one's for the people who actually need the speed. True 10 GSFP plus
01:44uplinks with 2.5G copper down, plus shared reading across ports, so your NAS and your main workstation
01:49can both pull full speed at the same time. $70.63, 4,796 sold. Perfect stepping stone before you commit
02:00to a big managed core switch. And last up, the Keepli NK24 port gigabit switch, the boring one
02:06that you'll end up loving. 24 plug-and play ports, no config, no firmware headaches, just plug everything
02:13in and forget it. $79.78, and it holds the highest rating on this whole list at 4.9 stars.
02:21It's gigabit, so pair it with a 10G switch as your backbone and let this handle the clutter.
02:27Alright, all the links are down in the description with the current prices,
02:31they do move around, so check before you buy. If this saved you some digging, drop a like,
