I've had a look recently at unmanaged switches. Vanilla plug 'n play unmanaged switches are mostly the same internally, although some more expensive pro-sumer offerings have larger jumbo frame size capability. As already mentioned, reliability is questionable. In the end I decided to buy Linksys LGS108 (now owned by Belkin) because their chips are different to Netgear/TP-Link/D-link, all of which have received poor reviews on consumer sites. Given they all eventually fail, a longer warranty may be a better determinant.
