Unmanaged switches: Difference between GS608v4 and GS308
Hi, I need to extend my home network as I have 500Mb cable arriving. I have a GS608v4, and am looking for another 8 port switch to add to the network. However I do not understand the differences between the GS608 which retails at £50-60 and the GS308 which is available for £25.
The only difference I can see is that the GS308 has a packet buffer memory which is dynamically allocated of 192KB, whereas the 608 has a Buffer memory of 1.5Mbit. Is this teh main difference, and does this make a significant difference to the network performance? or is there some other performance difference between these two models. Thanks
(I do realise one is in a nice plastic case and the other in a blue metal box, but surely there is more to it than this?) 🙂

Can't see the big retail price difference in the central European market for the GS608v4 and GS308. Here in Switzerland the differences is less than 10% range, some 27.50 to 25 CHF for each model Swiss VAT included.
Hard to see a real performance difference in daily operations anyway.
