Oh, $699 must be $649, so the $1298 is correct.

1. Better value for money: 1 x 60Ghs Single = $1299, 2 x 30Ghs Singles ($699*2=$1298)
I don't think this is valid because you have to also include the cost of the hub. 2 Little singles will take up 2 ports vs just one. If you have two free ports on your computer, then yeah, but I personally don't.
Another aspect that you haven't factored in here is power usage, including loss in the power brick. It might be half, but likely two littles will use more power.
2. Better redundancy: If 1 x 60Ghs Single fails then you are down by 60Ghs, if one of the two 30Ghs Singles fails, then you are down by only 30Ghs
3. Even more redundancy: with 2 x Little SC Singles you get 2 power bricks.
3. Even more redundancy: with 2 x Little SC Singles you get 2 power bricks.
This is a good point.
There is also an annoyance of how many devices you have. If you are just getting one sc single vs two little singles, then this makes sense, but if you are getting 10 scs single vs 20 little singles, that can get to be a bit much.
No longer jalapeno? Soon orders you can upgrade to the new generation of ASICs 10THs if you wait a year or any such offering, this seems like the shopping channel.
That depends, if you consider the possibility of their devices being vaporware, not living up to specs or even a scam it would be best to wait.
Hi, it seems the new Little Single (30Ghash) is better then the old SC Single 60Ghash, here's why:
1. Better value for money: 1 x 60Ghs Single = $1299, 2 x 30Ghs Singles ($649*2=$1298)
2. Better redundancy: If 1 x 60Ghs Single fails then you are down by 60Ghs, if one of the two 30Ghs Singles fails, then you are down by only 30Ghs
3. Even more redundancy: with 2 x Little SC Singles you get 2 power bricks.
I am personally disappointed that BFL now allows to upgrade the Japaleno orders to Little Singles, but does not allow the Standard Single to be changed into Little Singles orders.
