Corsair not interested in SSDs yet

FUD Zilla had a chat with Corsair and heard the memory maker hasn't rolled out a line of solid state disks yet because they believe the technology isn't mature enough. It seems Corsair will wait until there are faster and much cheaper solid state chips on the market.
Corsair thinks that these drives have too many compatibility problems, that the capacity is too small for desktop and gaming market which is its primary target, and last and certainly not least that these drives are still insanely overpriced.

You can buy a few terabytes of storage for decent SSD 64GB drive and these prices are still out of the earth. As Intel as one of the biggest players in IT market wants to go down the Solid State Drive road, Corsair will also do it but only when it makes more financial sense.
