I have two GS748TS (with a few 1G GBICs) in production, but for a couple dead fans no hardware problems yet. I'm not using the more advanced features, and I'm not driving them with a lot of traffic, so I can't really say how buggy they are. > production.

Yeah, I figured even as a couple of L2 switches with 10G optical uplink over about ~50 m of MMF should be acceptable. If they die, I'll RMA them. The problem is that I can't find any reviews or even useful user experiences with that model. That concerns me a bit. > If you need to save money, Netgear seems to be OK.
