3 ports minimum as cheap as possible without compromising performance and willing to pay a bit more for lower power consumption (I know they don't use much anyway but still).

Was just going to pick up a well known brand but the are quite a bit more spendy then some out there. Appreciate some suggestions based on your experiences. Thanks.

Got some of the Chinese specials. Hisource Hi-KO402WS. Were about £25 (And have 2 10gb capable SFP+ ports). Although if known about the above probably would have just got that.

Yeah they are pretty small and of course if you are in the whole Unifi ecosystem even better for managing.

I am not familiar with them, all I know is I have 2 unmanned ? switch, both 8 ports, and my main fibre router which has a 2.5G port. So basically that is the max my network will get, and what my budget allows.
 
Thanks for the suggestions, will probably go with one of the chinese switches. Resisted going down the Unifi rabbit hole so far. It looks good but I'll just want it all and I'm not that flush :cry: Plan to power a few things from a multi DC supply as well so the USB-C is a downside. Can get an adapter but it's more cost the switch is already 3x more than a chinese one. So will go cheap for now and see how is goes. Thanks again.
