I come from a land down-under...
Hi,

I'm thinking of getting a base rMBP 15, but am wondering what model of SSD I may get.

I understand that the 256GB SSDs used by Apple are supplied by both SanDisk and Samsung, but I have only seen references to SanDisk SSDs in the smaller 13-inch rMBP. I was wondering whether Apple only uses Samsung in the 15-inch?

I have heard about the somewhat inferior performance of the SanDisk 256GB SSDs compared to the Samsung equivalent.

Does anyone have a 15" with a 256GB SanDisk SSD, so I can confirm that this possibility exists?

If so, have you had any issues with it, or found performance lacking?


Thanks for your feedback,

John
