Four faster ports and two 10G cages when you already live in QNAP: QNAP QSW-2104-2S
Four faster ports and two 10G cages when you already own a QNAP, or any file box with that cage.
Four faster ports and two 10G cages when you already live in QNAP. SFP+ means a fiber-style 10G cage. 4× 2.5G + 2× 10G SFP+, unmanaged, fanless, 12 V / 1 A, 12 W max, Class B, 2-year warranty. Don't pad this with eight-port copper. That table is the closet roundup. Same recipe, usually cheaper: TEG-S562 vs QSW-2104-2S. When the cage is worth it: 2.5G vs a 10G uplink.
SKU QSW-2104-2S-A-US. QNAP store $129, in stock. Amazon $116 (B0BFC6QFRL). B&H $79.99 (was $129.99). Use B&H when that cut is live. Sibling QSW-2104-2T-A-US (2× 10GBASE-T + 4× 2.5G, B&H $149, Amazon B0974XNGJL) is the copper-10G footnote, not a second review.
