Aruba s2500 worked great for me, when mine died I changed to a brocade icx6610.
I will say the Aruba doesn't give you full 10 gig technically but it's very close, the brocade switch is great though as it has 8 10 gig ports, and two qsfp, one that can be broken out into an additional 8 ports.
It's also a lot more cable management wise, more than I could possibly need. The s2500 was used more as a dumb switch however though.
I have a 6610-48p and it's so underrated.
It's one of the cheapest overkill switches we can get right now.
Craft computing did a video on them trashing it because they are license locked to 1G speeds where he failed to mention that serve the home made the fully upgraded license available for free.
Ah yeah, forgot there is a license lock but it's super easy to get past with some custom firmware, I went through the process in my video on the upgrade here
Yeah, software licenses locking hardware stuff is dumb, but when it's this easy to get around, eh.
You'd think someone who actually gets views on YouTube and makes a good amount of money from it would have covered that part...
