Review: Cisco - overkill for most home NAS/SAN but bulletproof - Long time CCNP/CCSP - can’t go wrong with Cisco. Full IOS capability. Overkill for most home networks but bulletproof w/ 2x 10g for NAS/SAN and lab environment that I have setup. Some of the literature makes it look like the copper uplink ports ge1/0/13-14 are multi-gig ports. They are not. Only the 3560cx-8PD has them. This model has only the 2 10ge ports. That would be my only gripe for the the top tier device and hopefully a future edition for this model line. (Info only - no support for WoL for 10g copper sfp+)
