Company LiteON, after several years of OEM-cooperation with Plextor and output for PC assemblers, finally decided to try his hand and present their own retail line of SSD-drives flash memory.
According to Expreview, for retail buyers Lite-On Zeta SSD will be available in three versions capacity: 128 GB (code name: LCH-128V2S), 256GB (LCH-256V2S) and 512 GB (LCH-512V2S).

Also declared support TRIM command, and 256-bit hardware AES-encryption .
However unprepared mentally, but this subject enthusiastic user expects something of a shock: the basis of Zeta SSD will lie not familiar platform Marvell combined with flash memory Toshiba, way Lite-On and Plextor blyudut loyalty for a long time, and … Silicon Motion and its SM2246EN controller in conjunction with the 16-nm MLC NAND production, another surprise, Hynix .
