That looks like a fine switch, but I have no experience with it, so I
really can't say for sure.

I've got a 16-port 10/100/1000 switch from Trendnet that's been running my
home network for the last couple of years. Looks to be about the same specs
as that HP, but it is much cheaper:

You certainly can't go wrong with an HP switch, but I have nothing bad to
say about the Trendnet. It's been sitting in a rack running without any
attention from me since I got it and it works fine.
