The only “new” NIC in my setup is the one in the 10G thunderbolt dock for my Mac, everything else was used and has worked perfectly.

Good to know! Not sure why I am so often shy on getting used. I've done it when the deals are simply very good, but that's just been with referb harddrives (with a warranty) and this switch, which was just too good of a deal. I gotta get braver there.

The thing I like about used networking gear is if it starts failing, it's really noticeable; TCP/IP is checksummed up so many assets.

And if I have to go back to gig for a week or two, the horror!

But it's not permanent data corruption.
