You are happy because you are using it with good power supply, probably 
UPS.

Both (and D-Link mostly) are completely unprotected for even minor power 
spikes. None of them survived more than half a year when i used it of 
total over 10.

For pure 100Mbps switches, Asus Giga-X is the best in that respect.
