I just did some research: this switch doesn't seem bad, or am I overlooking something? https://www.fs.com/de-en/products/72944.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwtqj2BRBYEiwAq

I just did some research: this switch doesn't seem bad, or am I overlooking something? https://www.fs.com/de-en/products/72944.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwtqj2BRBYEiwAqfzur7FInqXvr0G5hxrv9s3t9EAW14KSfbvouEUEYlBIKht34zvVaLXrCxoCGrkQAvD_BwE https://www.fs.com/de-en/products/72944.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwt... Fanless, 24 normal ports, 4 10GbE ports. What do they mean when they write "...with 4 10Gb SFP+ Uplinks"? Are they meant only to aggregate the traffic that comes from the 1GbE-ports or can they be used as well to exchange traffic between 4 servers, each one using 10GbE?

That switch should be able to do regular switching between its four 10Gb ports, but first you need to buy SFP+ transceivers to plug into those ports. 10G Fiber transceivers start around $20 per port, but 10G transceivers with RJ-45 ports for ordinary twisted-pair copper cabling are $40-70 per port. So to get that switch equipped to actually do 10Gb switching over copper would drive the price per port over $100.
