LiteOn Introduces ZETA Line of Consumer SSDs

Lite-On Group mainly creates products for the OEM sector, but not exclusively. We recently saw the release of M.2 SATA OEM Modules and now Lite-On also wants to enter the consumer SSD market. The Lite-On ZETA SSD drive will come in three capacities up to 512GB capacity and speeds up to 520MB/s while reading and up to 420MB/s while writing.

While the Plextor brand also belongs to the Lite-On Group, there doesn’t seem to be any conflict of interest between the two brands as the latest Plextor drives exceed these in performance. No word on pricing or availability yet.
