So hopefully you guys remember my good fortune getting some nice prime NY Strips.
Well I aged them for four full days, here they are

Here they are, after coming to room temp and Kosher and Fresh Ground on them, the caramelizing occurring

And everything getting jiggy, some butter and garlic in a CI, for the steaks and the bread

Time for the Cook to enjoy a nice German Brandy, this stuff is excellent

John I don't think they age in the classic sense of the connective tissue breaking down as in steaks left on the whole side and dry aged for a month or more.
What they do is change in texture after four days, all the excess water is gone and it seems to alter the flavor for the better. It also slightly changes the texture. I like them as the steak flavor seems a little stronger.
The second pack of these I am going to cook right after a defrost and see how much of a difference the family notices. It will be a good side by side as they are from the same side of beef purchased the same day.
Let you know
