Quiet managed eight faster ports and two 10G cages when you need VLANs: SG3210X-M2 vs TEG-3102WS
Pick a quiet managed switch with eight faster ports and two 10G cages when you actually need VLANs. Both boxes do that job. The unmanaged copper roundup stays on the 8-port page.
Pick a quiet managed switch with eight faster ports and two 10G cages when you actually need VLANs. Both boxes do that job. TRENDnet is the street-price / lifetime / NDAA pick already in the shipped table. Omada is the controller / static-route / app pick. TEG-3102WS uses an external 12 V / 1.5 A brick (Amazon included-components). SG3210X-M2 is IEC cord / internal. Neither has PoE. If US Omada street sits near $230–350, TRENDnet still wins on price; Omada wins on SDN. Recheck both buy boxes. Solo Omada note: SG3210X-M2.

Skip
Skip both if you don't need VLANs. Buy the unmanaged 8-port. Skip SG3210XHP-M2 as the "Omada with more watts" default. Skip QSW-M2108-2C. See managed vs unmanaged if you are still on the fence.
