    Can't promise the compatibility (I'm not Netgear) is you intend to stick with a DAC and the SFP+ cable a the switches require an SFP+ (10G) port, like the Insight managed GC728X (with two SFP+, plus two SFP for linking the GC110 SFP for example), or a MS510TX (one shared SFP+/10GBase-T).

     

    If you could consider to switch the X520-DA1 to something with a 10GBase-T interface (if the host is permitting, drivers are available, ...) very affordable Aquantia AQtion AQC107 based PCI cards are readily available in the market, like the QNAP QXG-10G1T - then you can look for any switch with 10GBase-T - for the Smart Managed Plus you can start from a GS110EMX, for the Netgear Gaming Switches the SX10 (GS810EMX), ... 

     

    At the end of the day, it depends on what other systems you like to connect, what other port/speed types, what kind of management you expect.
