Has anyone worked with Aruba S2500 switches?

I was looking for used switches with 10GbE ports. In several Reddit groups the Aruba S2500 comes up as a great home lab switch.

I do not need 48 GbE POE and 4 10GbE ports, but ebay has them for $150.

Not POE but nice.

I picked up one of these. Will run it through the paces. Once the OS finishes loading, the fans settle down to a tolerable level.
