Netgear does highly belief and trust in the quality of these switches. Otherwise, they would never offer a limited lifetime warranty
Warranty for products with ProSAFE Limited Lifetime Warranty, except for Fully Managed Switches, ends five years after the product is listed as NETGEAR Business Products "End of Life" or EOL. As of today, only the XS505M are listed, probably due to lack of demand.
All the similar aged switches operated here 24*7, are still in service, and operating trouble-free daily:
XS505M 5-Port 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch with SFP+ Port
XS508M 8-Port 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch with SFP+ Port
GS110MX 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch with 2-Port 10G/Multi-Gig Uplinks (GS110MX)
GS110EMX 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch with 2-Port 10G/Multi-Gig Uplinks
MS510TX 8-Port Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with 10G Copper and SFP+ Ports
MS510TXPP 8-Port PoE+ Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with 10G Copper and SFP+ Ports
XS724EM 24-Port 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch with 2 SFP+ Ports, Rackmount
All these are now eight or more years old, and still reliable workers.
