Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro HD 24 is a 2.5 Gb managed switch aimed at home lab and prosumer networking setups. It ships with 22 2.5 Gb RJ45 ports, 2 10 Gb RJ45 ports, and 4 10 Gb SFP+ ports. The standard version is priced at 599 US dollars, while a PoE variant costs 999 US dollars. Commenters see the 599 price as worth it, especially when needing 10 Gb RJ45 or extra SFP+ connectivity. It is frequently compared to the Pro Max 24, which only offers 8 2.5 Gb ports and 2 SFP+ ports for 450 dollars. For users who need more high-speed ports, the HD 24 becomes an easy upgrade over the Pro Max 24. Buying a single Ubiquiti SFP+ 10 Gb module separately can cost around 65 dollars, which factors into the value calculation.
