Most Lite-On SSDs come in OEM systems where validation and pricing take a back seat to performance. In Asia, the brand has a strong following and is known for products that offer very high reliability at low prices. Across the Pacific, Lite-On is more like our Crucial; conservative, affordable, and dependable.

This is kind of confusing. The first sentence indicates that price and reliability are secondary concerns for Lite-On (OEM) SSDs, with performance being the most important. The next two sentences state the exact opposite.

Agreed. I suspect they meant to say that validation and pricing take a *front* seat to performance, or that *performance* takes a back seat to validation and pricing.
