New Gigabit switch

[totnestim]

Hi,

I'm looking for a 48 port gigabit switch, I don't think I need any management but I suppose you never know in the future. It will be used to connect around 30 computers to a Overland Storage Snapserver 210 and a BT Business Hub via the GigE port for infinity broadband.

Looking at the TP-Link TL-SG2452

or D-Link 1210-48

Also I currently get about 11mbps write speed and 90mbps read speed on the network with a 10/100 switch what could I expect with a gigabit switch? Should I get actual improved times reading/writing to an Access database?

Many thanks

Access databases are heavy I/O bound, based on the speed of random seek/write on the target drive.

I'm not sure network speed increases will buy you much more. Moving off Access is a good plan if performance is an issue. As a band-aid, you can maybe get a SSD for the system running Access.

Of course, gigabit may get you better read speed, and/or faster speeds for other types of access, so it's not a bad idea, but just be aware of potential Access bottlenecks.
