I am fairly sure that neither Red nor Kinefinity have their own SSD manufacturing plant -- they are using off-the-shelf drives and marking them up.
By the way, you said that the KINEmags are more expensive. What is the actual price that Kinefinity asks for "their" SSDs?
Again, the machine vision world has been dealing with recording raw hi-res for awhile -- without using CFast cards.
Furthermore, 4.6K is not much of a stretch from 4K, so some of the latest SSDs used with 4K cameras might work.

Nonsense. SSD raids have been proven to be fast and reliable.
