So the S19 Pro costs 35% more than the regular S19, but it's only 10% better efficiency-wise. Anyone buying either? What about durability, any thoughts?
S19 vs S19 Pro: which one to choose?

Honestly, I think the S19 has more reliability than the S17, at least. But we still don’t have solid data on the S19 XP yet. With my 33% import tax, S19 feels like the smarter buy. Extra tax is a real big deal.

Just grabbed 2 S19a Pro's (110TH each) last week for under 24K with hosting and a year of warranty. A few months back they were over 30K. With the XP looming, prices will probably drop more soon.
From my experience, the standard S19s aren’t great. Had lots of failures in my batch of 35, lost 6 hashboards already and some PSUs too. But my 15 S19 Pros? Not a single issue so far. They’re solid.
What deal are you talking about? Link it, please.
What are the actual differences between S19a Pro and S19 Pro?

So, I checked Bitmain’s specs. The S19 Pro is smaller than the S19a Pro. Both have a hash rate of 110T though. But the S19a Pro might have different chips compared to S19 Pro.
Prices have really dropped since April? I’m seeing S19 Pro at about $5,940 on Bitmain’s site.

That sounds too cheap. Most places are asking $1,000 to $1,500 more for that. I saw Liminal has them around $5,039 to $5,291, and they're legit.

If you're after an S19 Pro, ZeusBTC has a 'Get Quote' button for their miners. Might be worth checking out.
