Taiwan-based optical disc drive maker Lite-On IT, while stepping into production of SSDs three years ago and generating revenues of over NT$1 billion (US$33.9 million) in 2011, is expected to bring in revenues of NT$6-7 billion from the product line in 2012 mainly due to fast growing demand for tablet and ultrabooks, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report.
Lite-On IT has won SSD orders from four of the 10 largest PC vendors, the paper indicated.
