Small, silent, and fast.......2007-09-15

An 8-port Gigabit switch for only $82?!? I thought this was definitely worth a test drive. There is no fan inside this unit, so the reviewers that complained about fan noise must be talking about a different model (the label on the bottom of my unit says "SD2008 Version 2.1"). The Gb ports appear to run at a full speed. The 100/1000 auto speed sensing worked fine except in one situation (see below); I couldn't test at 10Mb because I don't have any 10Mb devices anymore. It's a small package with mounting holes on the back. I mounted mine on the wall near where all my cat 5 cables terminate. All in all I found this switch trivial to deploy and a great performer.

The only problem I encountered was with some older building wiring that only uses 2 pairs. That's good for running 10/100Mb, but 1Gb requires 4 pairs. I could connect a 100Mb device to the SD2008 just fine using 2 pairs, but when I tried to connect a gigabit laptop the link never activated. At least with some other switches in this situation, the laptop interface drops down to 100Mb and all is fine. I don't know the details of the IEEE auto speed negotiation specification well enough to know what's suppose to happen in this case, and so I don't know if this is really a problem I can blame on the SD2008. In my particular situation I just switched to a wireless link that's available and bypassed the problem altogether. Of course I could also have upgraded the wiring to 4 pairs as the standard calls for, but it was a long wiring run and the wireless link was already available.

New version is OK.......2007-07-04

Bought this switch and received the new version which is black. It is fanless or at least if it does have fans I don't hear them. Tested it and performance is good getting almost 1Gbit under all conditions (hard disks and other hardware being the limiting factor). Also tested it with jumbo frames and worked OK. Overall good buy, great speed with jumbo frame support at a nice price.

Bad SD2008.......2007-05-27

Last week the switch stopped working. I have no idea why but all the port lights are off and none of the connections are working. I had to buy another one and this time from somebody that guarenteed it.

Newer version is quiet and better........2007-03-06

I have bought both the old version of the Linksys SD2008 about 2 years ago when first released and everyone is right - Loud, and unacceptable when sitting on a desk next to you. I am lucky that I built a server and placed it and all networking items in basement so it did not bother me. I did hear it when I went into basement thought. The fan started really getting loud about 3 months ago and it just died in the past week but switch is still going strong. I wanted to see it the Version 2.1 was any better than the 1.0 that I currently have. I have not switched over yet because I am waiting for other new parts but I did plug in new switch and well what do you know. TADA. No fan sounds. I dont think the newer version even have a fan in it. Its slightly better looking than original because front bezel is black instead of grey. I like that fact that the plugs are in the back compared to Netgears switches which plug into the front(which can make an unsightly mess with a lot of plugs) I have used Linksys products for many years now. With Cisco, they seem to get better every year. Give the newer 2.1 switch a try. You won't be dissappointed.

This line is JUNK!.......2006-09-27

I just wanted to extend my utter frustration with the RV0041 router. This is the same as the SD2008, just less ports. I spent more than $250 for this router when I bought it, thinking it would be all I ever needed. Only a few months after owning it, the already LOUD internal fan started sounding like a jet engine. I contacted Linksys support and was sent a replacement through the RMA process. The unit I received worked for about a month or so now without a problem until now. It has started sounding like the other one. What piece of junk fans did they put in these things? I am getting rid of this and going with another brand. Now I am out $254, and I have to go spend money on a router.

Customer Reviews:

quicktionary II.......2006-02-23

This scans so poorly that it is virtually worthless. There is also no place to store the protective tip (as on the back of a pen) which lessens its use as a portable device. Scanning is even worse in cramped spaces (airplanes, cafe seats) -- which is just where you might want to use this device. If you just scan an occasional unknown word, the device needs to be turned on each time -- as it turns itself off much too quickly. It has no advantages that I can think of over PDA type translators -- or even pocket dictionaries for that matter.

Good tool.......2004-09-12

Keep in mind that the voice on all these pens is english, unlike what the names make it sound like. Apart from that, I think it's a good tool, I wish the Opticard was more easily obtainable (barcode sheet used to enter words manually because there is no keyboard).They could also improve on the screen navigation of long definitions.

Quicktionary II.......2002-08-27

Pro: Does scan text well Con: translates one word at a time even though it scans a whole sentence. You have to figure out what the sentence means by piecing together the definitions of each individual word. This is difficult to do when you don't know the language you are trying to translate.

So close and yet so far!!!.......2007-02-10

By the way, as of this writing, the picture on Amazon for the dual-powered version of this calculator is NOT the correct picture.

Sure, this calculator does lots of really neat stuff. It would be impossible to give a rating based on the features. either it does what YOU need it to do, or it doesn't, like any other tool.

However, I can rate subjectively, and this thing is subjecting my head to a ROYAL headache!! The LCD viewing angle has been designed so that you only get good contrast when viewing it at a very weird angle - exactly the WRONG angle if you are in a room with overhead lighting or brightly colored walls. In order to get good contrast you must be looking at the LCD screen at such an angle as to make the LCD screen and the curvy faceplate reflect overhead lights, the ceiling, the walls, etc. If you attempt to view the LCD screen head-on in an attempt to reduce these inevitable reflected light sources, and so that the characters on the screen are not stretched due to exaggerated perspective, or so that the buttons actually face your torso so they can be easily pushed (god forbid) the characters appears extremely (!!) dim. That is, the "contrast" is set all wrong, and I haven't found any way to fix it (a technology that was mature for hand-helds in the 1980s).

Now, if there is a way to fix the LCD contrast and I'm just ignorant about it, I'll gladly take the egg on the face to fix it and get rid of my headache. But I doubt it.

Then there's the hard cover. Like so many other calculators these days, it comes with a nasty hard plastic cover that increases the thickness by 30%, and also increases the width a bit. And of course to go without the hard cover leaves you with nothing at all for protection. The soft cover some other calculators come with is thinner, lighter, and takes less PLASTIC to construct. But as we see all too often in thousands of OTHER made-in-China products, the more plastic you can get the consumer to buy and carry around, the "better"...or something.

So, just like most calculators, the hard plastic cover 'works' but sucks and should be a separately purchasable option. And this perverted LCD viewing angle is almost prohibitively uncomfortable and the inability to adjust is beyond asinine.

These are SUCH EASY THINGS TO FIX - it's ridiculous that Sharp would put so much excellent functionality into such a miss-the-mark package. Where's QA on this?!?

Made in China.

Good Buy.......2006-03-22

I typically use a TI-89, and this calculator is awesome. Too bad it is not allowed in the FE Exam. If you need a solid calculator, this one is it. The craftsmanship is great, the calculator can do Binary, Hex, Dec, and Oct, as well as statistics; Calculus and all you can think of. The only thing that I wish it did was "pretty print" BUY NOW.
