2012 Retina 13" and MBA SSD?

[fenderbass146]

I was looking into buying a Retina Macbook Pro on eBay that is currently missing a screen and ssd. The screens/top cover are like $140 bucks and easy to replace and I already have a 128 GB SSD from a 2012 Macbook Air that I am currently using as an external hdd.

Do the 2012 13" retina and 2012 macbook air use the same ssd?

Formfactor is way different -- not interchangeable. This will be your best bet for a Mid 2012 retina: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/ssd/owc/macbook-pro-retina-display/2012-2013

Way different? I thought they were both pci-e blade ssd. Is the length difference or the connector or both?

Dimensions will not work (air is way longer) in addition, the mounting screw location is different.

Okay, cool, thanks. Probably will be taking a pass on that macbook then.

Connector is the same, I believe. But as mentioned, form factor is too different. Neither will fit in the other machine.

Have a look:
MacBook Air replacement.
MacBook Pro replacement.
