The D-Link DSS-24 is a powerful rack-mountable dual-speed 24-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet/Fast Ethernet n-way auto-negotiating switch. It functionally eliminates unnecessary traffic and relieves data congestion by delivering dedicated bandwidth for each of the 24 ports. An individual port can connect to either an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet device, and n-way auto-negotiation automatically determines the transmission speed of the attached device on each port.
Providing dynamic buffer allocation, the DSS-24 employs network load balancing for faster data handling. It uses fast store-and-forward architecture to ensure low latency and high data integrity. It supports stacking through the MDI-II shared uplink port for flexible media connection and expansion capabilities.
D-Link offers a lifetime warranty for this switch.

1 Great Switch
I have two years with this and the 36 ports version of this switchs and both work very well, the people at the nerwork don't need to know what is they NIC speed to connect to the network and is very usefull if you have a mixed speed clients, because you don't need one network for 10 Mbits and other for 100 Mbits. At this moment I bought one 5 port version of this switch to build a beowulf cluster, because the perfrom of D-link network products is realy Great and cheap that other options.
