I'd buy something similar to sp3X!
Throw 2 boards and 2 psu in one case and give us that thing!
3.4kw and 22th....
But with a more standard controller board. Those SP3X ones were okay up until the point they prematurely failed.
Which was rare.
They are not rare, at all.
I think we had a survey of failed SP-tech kit that showed failures were extremely rare. They occur, sure but its not like you can just say the above dogie without a caveat.
That wasn't a real survey or any measure of failed equipment, that was Guy paying for a list of frilly questions like:
- Is the most trusted?
- Has the best firmware?
- Has the best support?
- Cares most about its customers? [lol]
- Is the most professional
and pays its debts? - Would you buy from next
- Gives value for money
- Hardware performs to your satisfaction
Other reasons why don't get as many failed reports as you otherwise would:
- When you have a problem you email Zvi, who emails internally to order a replacement. There is just no fixing those things once they go bad so no point posting.
- 20-40x less individual customers than Bitmain (which you're comparing them to) so even with the same failure rate you get 20-40x fewer reports.
No not that one, Phil ran another one about reliability, it wasn't fancy he just asked people about reliability, but I just dug it out and it was about SP20's not SP3x but the people who responded showed a 95.8% reliability rate. And no-one paid anything to anyone. (in the one you allude to Guy actually donated to charity)
You've become very bitter dogie, you've fallen a long way, sly digs and innuendo and half truths seem to be your forte lately which is a shame really.
Plus you missed out the bit where I said I hadn't had any controller failures in my experience which isn't huge, but I have had over 20 SP3x machines some of which are still going strong from May 2014 and never had a controller failure.
Maybe if you have real statistics about the failure rate of SP3x controllers you could give them to us here. Waffling on about numbers you know nothing about doesn't help. And I wasn't comparing them to anything, I just pulled you up on your
opinion regarding the controller on the SP3x range of equipment being problematic, which I don't believe is the case.
But regardless of this, if they brought out a SP3x rackmount form factor up to 2U in size but with 10-20TH at a competitive cost. I'd definitely buy them no questions asked.
