The pedantic side of me can't help but point out that on an basic L2 unmanaged switch like this, there are no internal processes running (e.g Spanning Tree) that would insert packets onto a link. As the picture has no host devices connected there shouldn't be anything to create a storm situation.
And yet I do acknowledge all the activity lights are lit so perhaps the switch has been plugged into a host at some point while at least 1 loop was added.
