HP's ProCurve series are a bit on the steep side, though they come with lifetime warranty, got two 2524 (managed) 10/100 and I haven't seen any issues with them so far, next to them I got two D-Link (unmanaged) 10/100/1000 16 port switches, on one of them the fan sounded like a lawnmower and failed after about a month, on the other one I noticed 2 dead ports, haven't tested all of the d-link ports yet but I suspect to find more when I do. The rack also sports a Linksys 32 port 10/100 switch with no issues to date, haven't tested all ports there either. The equipment is about 18 months (HP) and 13 months (the rest) old.
