It's NT$3980 or about US$125.
Plenty of cheaper no-name products around, based on the same Realtek hardware.

Weird naming.
Switchnstore means Switch + Storage
But there is only a switch here and no storage? What gives.

Yeah, it's confusing since some routers and switches genuinely do offer network attached drives.

Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
What can the backplane handle? You know one of the main metrics for deciding if a switch is even worth it?

It's fast enough for the ports available.
