5 or 8 (my preference) gigabit switches are cheap, reliable and in my limited testing use less power than 100mbit switches. Is there a constraint which prevents purchasing one?
I acknowledge it isn't as fast as a SATA/USB bridge, but when you factor in copying files to the external drive, unmounting it, unplug/replug and copying again, there's a significant convenience advantage.
