I second this - I have two Netgear GS116s Gig switches both of which are 
still in active service after 14 years of service. The power packs on both 
have died _repeatedly_ - I just keep a supply of 12v DC supplies on hand 
from Amazon - but the units themselves have been bombproof.

They are, however, completely unmanaged and may be lacking in features 
you need - but I can attest to their longevity.
