S17 Pro vs S17+: Which One to Choose?

I thought the S17+ was rated at 76 TH, but now I see 67 TH in the specs. What’s the real deal here? And how do the S17 Pro and S17+ hold up reliability-wise? If price isn't a factor, which one would you recommend?

Did you actually check the specs you linked? They have different versions of S17+, including 76 TH and 67 TH. Look more closely.

I'd skip both and look for an S19 instead.

Honestly, my experience with the S17 Pro wasn't great. It never really hit the speeds they advertised, and I had a ton of board failures. It felt like a waste of cash. Maybe I just got unlucky, but it was really disappointing.

The heatsink setup on all S17 models is awful. If you manage to get one to your place without losing a heatsink, consider yourself lucky. Look for a cheap S19 or go for Whatsminer.

Anyone got an S17 they're willing to sell? I don't care if some heatsinks are missing, as long as the chips are mostly good. I'm reverse engineering the ASIC and would put it to good use.

I work for a company that bought a whole bunch of S17s, around 5000. Thanks to some bad solder from the manufacturer, we lost about 75 miners every week. We developed a refurbishing process to fix that and now sell stable, reliable miners.

Thanks everyone, this info really helps. Gonna steer clear of the S17 now.

The S17+ is a beast, but it's fragile. You really need experience to keep them running well. If I had to choose, I'd recommend the Pro over the +. But if the Pro was maintained, it's solid.

If not going for the S19 XP, which model should I look at? S19 pro-104TH, S19 pro-110TH, or any of the other variations? Why all these odd names and different hash rates?

No suggestions for the S19? Anyone?

Yeah, the S17 series is pretty unreliable, but I’d still pick the S17 Pro over the S17+. Definitely go for an S19 or an XP if you can swing it.
