I'd like to see a review go to a person who won't turn around and sell it at the first chance like a few who have posted on here are known to do.
This is starting to remind me of the early 2000's when hardware sites started popping up and would only get future hardware if they posted positive reviews. Now all the hardware sites are like that.

I'd be happy to review this. You bring up good points, even Gridseeds had their subtle tricks to make them work right. If you ran a gridseed at higher clock speeds there was permanent damage (more hardware errors/day) and regular usage caused a slight increase in HW errors (something like .01%/day). I ran two blades for 6+ months without fail. I started with 0-4 HW errors per blade, per day and ended with 74 HW errors/blade/day. I didn't overclock the units to any damaging speed. There was a narrow window that wouldn't incur damages, it was basically a higher speed that didn't incur any higher HW errors, (it took awhile to find it since early on there were very few HW errors/day).

If they do make a dual mining unit, I hope it has the thermal capacity to run both at a higher speed and lower efficiency. A big problem gridseeds had was their subcomponents, or in more particular, the voltage regulators were not very efficient and were not covered by any heatsink and as such they would either overheat, or fail in the long-term. I sold my gridseeds for a very low price since that was a high risk to myself.

I still have all the necessary parts to test, a Hardware bench, multiple Raspberry PI's, power cables (16 Gauge), Power Supplies (80+ Gold), Digital Multimeter, and an available power at-the-wall monitor. (And more, but it's a bit too long to mention).

My only major hope is that these units will be quiet, I live in an apartment and loud noises are extremely hard to control. The blade's were noisy, but in the hardware mount they were acceptable.

Depending on the price I'll post something. I think it's important to get an alternative view to Dogies Mining guide (if he does one for the Sfards unit) and would add a bit of weight behind his guide if I came to the same conclusion. I sure hope Dogie reviews one, the pictures are always amazing.
