Home network switch upgrade

[RaczIT]

I need to upgrade a network switch I use to accommodate more devices, so I'm looking at some 8 port switches. Currently I have a Linksys SE2500 (5 port gigabit switch) in place. It does great for me, no problems after a couple years and seldom have to power cycle it. Can't ask for much more out of an unmanaged, plug n forget switch.

Here are the three 8 port switches I'm comparing:

Linksys SE3008 - http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-8-Port-Metallic-Gigabit-SE3008/dp/B00F3NUUF4

Netgear GS308 - http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-ProSAFE-GS308-8-Port-Gigabit/dp/B00KFD0SEA

HP Procurve 1410-8G - http://www.amazon.com/HP-Procurve-Ethernet-J9559A-ABA/dp/B003N1ZTC2

I realize they'll all perform just about the same but I was wondering if anyone had any insight, experiences, or opinions in regards to the three. Other suggestions are welcome as well.

I would go for the cheapest you can get, for example this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008BGXZU2?keywords=GO-SW-8G&qid=1444839016&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1 There is no differenced between them beside the case.

I like the idea of cheaper, however I would like a little peace of mind when it comes to reliability, hence why I'm leaning toward spending just a little more (especially on the hp with their limited lifetime warranty). I've bought cheap switches before like rosewill and trendnet and had them stop working on me after a year.

Well if by going through those Amazon reviews don't help you, nothing will.

Not a whole lot to think about purchasing equipment in that price range, with HP a little much (HP=High Priced ) I tend to buy the cooler running one. Me no like hot boxes, I think heat=causes resets but I can't prove it.
