So basically I have a 2012 retina mbp I bought when it was released with a 768gb ssd.
I want to get the new 2013 retina MBP and keep my 768gb SSD from my current retina macbook.
I heard they use different parts but will my 2012 RMBP SSD fit in the new 2013 rmbp?
Can't find the answer anywhere. Any help is appreciated! Thanks

It may or it may not. I have no idea if Apple changed the design of the SSD card (It is a card that plugs into a socket on the logic board) or if they just changed manufacturers (From Samsung to ?????. I forget which make).
But take note that if you take the Retina's apart and switch out the SSDs you have basically voided the warranty on both systems.
I know I'll void warranties I'm not worried about that. I just want to know if they are compatible. I have heard that they were changed with the new model. But not sure what changed
Well unless Apple did a complete re-design of the logic board, which I doubt, it should work by just swtiching them. But I have note heard of anyone doing this "Yet" to a retina model and or even replacing the SSD with one of the aftermarket SSDs.
Thanks for the input. I read that apple changed the new SSds forms Samsung to Sandisk.
My current SSD is Samsung 768 in my 2012 retina.
I just want to make sure before purchasing a new 2013 retina that my older Samsung SSD will still be compatible.
I guess there's only one way to find out.
I guess not many people would know here. Ill post back here with my findings once I have the new 2013 rmbp
Thanks again!
Hi there, I am in the exact same dilemma as you (also a DJ) - very confused!
Have bought a new SSD (512 gb samsung pro 840 series) very recently for my old macbook but looking to buy the Retina - but have been told by Apple that the SDDs in the RMBP is not replaceable!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank u!! (email kavitachoksi@gmail.com)
