Title: Drops to 100TX from gigabit speeds
Product review: I just replaced two of these at home with 5 port trendnet gigabit switches instead.When initially started I would see gs605v2 provide gigabit speeds but either pc copying files would only use 20% of the available gigabit speed as reported by windows 7 networking tab on task manager. Frequently one pc would drop to 100TX speed and the other pc would see 8% network activity when copying files to / from the other.Both gs605 switches would become hot to the touch when left on for long periods of time. Both were left in well ventilated areas.So I replaced these with the trendnet switches instead and now I see 47% network utilization. I use cat 5e cabling and now copy files at roughly 2gb/minute where before I would see ~ .5 gb/ minute.
