Lite-On Expects Huge Growth in SSD Sales, in 2012
Optical disc drive major Lite-On opined that its SSD sales will see huge growth in 2012. The company is not new to SSDs, as it entered the SSD business about three years ago, yet it is not a major player. In 2011, the SSD business generated about NT$1 billion (US $33.9 million) in revenues for the company, which the company expects will jump 600~700% (NT$6-7 billion) in 2012. Tablets and Ultrabooks, according to Lite-On, will be the prime-movers of this growth.

They are like a hungry stray dog outside a butcher shop staring at all the sausages and slabs of meat hoping someone will take pitty and throw it some scraps.
Sure theres plenty of people buying SSD's given how high HDD prices are....but just not their SSD's. OCZ, Corsair and Crucial are just too strong in the force.
Plus people usually associate Lite-On as a lesser brand/manufacturer when they are probably the same as Foxconn.
Lite-on make loads of stuff for OEMs just like Foxconn.
However they are making SSDs for Intel and Toshiba.
:EDIT:
Infact....Look at the pic, It looks like an Intel drive
Besides, the new Plextor M3 is the fastest SSD on the market. LiteON owns Plextor and makes the drive.
