Benefits of the Ubiquiti Flex 2.5G in a Home Lab

For my home lab I used for many years the Netgear GS108 unmanaged switch.

I works great.

Gigabit Unmanaged Switch-serie - GS108 | NETGEAR

Because the rest of my home work exist of Ubiquity devices I’ve wanted for a long timo to replace my netgear switch’s with a managed one. But the question was which one?

I used the Flex Mini behind the TV and for my PC and NAS. But not for my “server”.

With the release of the Flex 2.5G Switch it will make my homelab a little futher proof.

I have bought in de past the Synology DS723+ which support 2.5G en 10G with a optinal adapter. I wrote about it here

I have the luck that I don’t need to consult with the WAF ☺ Sow the decision was made quickly
