Personally I really like the BT-958 performance is great. I previously
had an NCR chip controller which was defective and I only have subjective
data anyway, but I think the Buslogic/Mylex is the best performer. While
I would expect the DPT to be faster with enough optional cache in bang
for the buck you can't beat the BT-958.
