Their 5 port hub is, well, words can't describe it, I've seen FTP transfers top out at under 100K/sec on a net with only two machines on it. On the other hand, I picked up one of their 8 port 10/100 switches (for $329, that's why I trusted them again), and I love it. On the exact same network I was seeing 1M/sec transfers until I upgraded to 100Mbit NICs. Now, everything is running 100Mbit full duplex, no collisions, and FTP speeds are limited by how fast the machines read/write to the HD, even though there are more machines on the network.
