I wasn't talking about a mixed network. Back in the day (transition from 10 to 100m) real-world workstation hard drive speeds were not significantly faster than network speed.

They work pretty well for what we're doing with them, extending the number of ports in places that only have 1 or 2 ports per room... CDW has the Netgear GS-108 for $84. Not particularly cheap, but CDW isn't the cheapest place to buy stuff... We’ve been using little Netgear switches, here at work.

I remember back in the day that a lot of then-current PC hardware couldn't saturate a 10m switched link. It seems that network has increased faster than PC.
