To be honest, those little blue unmanaged Netgear switches aren’t bad at all. We have dozens of them in our lab at work running 24/7 for like decades and have never had a failure that I remember.

They aren’t terrible as long as you have a supply of wall warts available. I ended up powering mine off a little Meanwell switching supply in the end as they don’t blow up as often.
