Intel was an early player. Might be the first, I didn't look. I think the Kingston has an Intel controller, but frankly, I don't know or really care. That thing is now slow by current standards (6 months old, after all) but is still very, very fast. It is faster than advertised for continuous reads or writes. It made my machine noticeably faster, and it's already very powerful with Core i7 CPU and 8G of RAM.

I'm probably going to get a new SSDD for Fedora 14 when it comes out 10 days from now, and it will probably be with a Sandforce controller. OCZ Vertex 2 is one example.
