FYI - the controllers for the fast-T line are made by LSI
and the controllers are the heart & soul of this product.
If you want to put vendor against vendor, STK uses the
same LSI controllers in its D173, 9176 & D178 product line.
I think LSI sells them directly too, I am not sure what the
names are.
Each vendor may add some tweaks but the important functionality
and performance should be the same.
Hope this helps,
Bill
