On September 30, 2008 Fudzilla reported that memory manufacturer Corsair did not think the time was right to enter the SSD market, but they were watching the market closely. A little under four months later, Corsair feels the time is right to enter the SSD market. Hexus.net reports the 128GB drive will be named the S128, and it will feature Samsung flash memory and a Samsung controller. Corsair decided to use the Samsung controller over a JMicron controller due to problems with the latter. Even though the drive has not been announced by Corsair, Scan.co.uk has it listed as well as NCIX.

The more competition the better. I'm still waiting for prices to decrease and performance to increase to the point where it's actually worth switching over to ssd. From some of the reviews I've read the whole market is pretty much hit and miss with read/write performance, reliability, and lifespan. Unless someone has some good experiences with any specific brands with amazing numbers to back that up and a reasonable price tag it will still be a while before before I make that initial purchase.
