Silent 8-port PoE gigabit smart switch (with AVB) recommendations?

[cube]

I want to buy PoE gigabit smart switch with about 8 ports.

I like that the D-Link DGS-1210-10P provides more power than the Netgear GS110TP , but I don't like that it is much bigger.

I also don't like from the Netgear that the uplinks are only fiber.

I don't know how solid these switches are, specially when it comes to IPv6.

I would prefer Cisco, but I haven't seen anything comparable that is quiet.

Thanks


EDIT: The AVB requirement was added later to the thread.

HP ProCurve V1810-G8. I myself have the 24 port version of this switch.
HP switches are highly recommended and I can back this up. Excellent product for relatively little money.

Both come without fans and are manageable.

The V1810 is powered by PoE, it does not provide PoE.

There are fanless V1905 models which provide PoE.

There are fanless Cisco 300 models which provide PoE which are cheaper.

The V1905 are smart while the series 300 is managed.

I'm not sure if the Cisco 300 are just the old Linksys or they have been updated.

I see the ProCurve includes lifetime software updates, but I'm not sure about the Cisco.

Besides that, it's 3 years warranty for the HP against 1 for the Cisco.

Ahh, sorry. I missed that. Just had a quick read and saw PoE.

The ProCurve 2520 or 2915 would be nice, but they cost quite a bit of money.

Any experience with the Netgear or the D-Link by now?

OK. The D-Link has an internal power supply. Another plus against the Netgear. I almost understand why it is bigger now. The Netgear is so small!

Well, now I also want it to support AVB.
