Well...we took down a 721 and older 741, and replaced them with two new 741s on separate controllers...I'm now at around 29TH. When these two older boxes get online in Labrador (we're idling two S7s up there to get the rack space, as they're full up...the S7s will go back online when the new transformer is in) it should still be around 31TH. Then, when their new DC is together, add the 9TH back on...

Life is good.

Ja it is

Since you do have both 721 and 741's you might want to refer to my post in the A7 thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1673843.msg19567389#msg19567389 if you ever think about putting them together on 1 controller. Works well but a couple gotcha's...

Yup...aware. I ran the 721 and the 741 together on the same RPi for some time. I noticed that, although the autoclocking worked well, the actual throughput was not great. You were also booting ALL the machines on the RPi if you hit "Reboot". I switched to separate controllers about a week ago and saw a 20% increase in hash output. The 741s are on separate controllers now. Since the 721 and 741 are going to be "together again," I may spring for a second controller to go with them to the DC. It's worth it.

For all the 741's, they can run on one controller without any issues - up to 20 741's - 5 on each USB port on the RPi3

Quite true. I'll run the two 741s here at home on one, but give Alan separate controllers for the 721 and 741 going up there. I got a couple of Canaan's RPi's...nicely done. Actually cheaper than trying to build one yourself.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with the Avalon gear. It's been significantly more reliable, and easier to manage.
