2011 MBP ssd : raid-0 > Who makes apple branded ssd?

[kowalabearhugs]

I own a 15" MBP with a 128 gb Apple branded ssd. I am going to replace the super drive with another 128 gb drive and run a raid-0 array. Who manufactures the Apple ssd? Can I use a 128 gb Intel ssd?

 

[Apple Expert]

Toshiba in the MBP. In the most recent versions of MBA, it's been Samsung.

Should I be concerned with buying the same model?
Can I successfully use any third party ssd?
