      I am looking to replace my Cisco 3650 switch with something that has at least 24(x) 10Gb ports. My network consists of a pfSense firewall --> Cisco 3650, primary goal is for ultra low latency, mainly for competitive gaming.

      Besides super low switch port latency I would like the device to pull no more than 60W of power at idle, and I would like it to be somewhat quiet.

      Does anyone here own an Arista 7150, if so at idle with no ports plugged in how much power in Watts does it consume ? The spec sheet says 191W but I cant believe that.

      Last, do the fans spin down when sitting idle, or does it scream 24/7. I would likely pull 1 of the PSU's and just run a single PSU, I'd probably also pull 2 of the 4 fans. I would run 12-16 ports at 1GB, and another 4-5 ports at 10GB when all said and done.

      If anyone has other suggestions for a 24(x) 10GB switch one can get on ebay for $400 or less that is super low latency I am all ears.
