So I am looking to upgrade my 8 port 10/100 switch, because it's a huge bottleneck to my NAS. Now, 8 ports is enough now, but I am already using five of the 8 ports, and I can see myself using at least four more in the near future. I want to find a gigabit switch with 12+ ports. I don't want to spend much, as I am a college student and am kind of broke. I found a few of these on eBay cheap, but I cannot find any information on them. I want to spend under $45 if possible.

Is this decent? Is it managed or unmanaged? (I don't need a managed switch). Other information?
Other used switch suggestions?
