can i upgrade my SSD for the A1425?

I just got a late 2012 model 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display (A1425). I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade my SSD. I saw a video on youtube of a guy changing a hard drive, but it wasn't a standard 2.5" laptop hard drive. It was something entirely different. I was wondering if that hard drive is the same one in mine. I just bought a 500GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD and was hoping to install it in my MBP. Also, what kind of screws screw in the bottom panel? I wanted to open it and get a look at the internals of my MBP, but they look like pentalobe screws, but I have no idea what size. Thanks.

There are SSDs available for the retina MBP but if you install one, the warranty of your MBP will be voided. I would suggest deferring this if you can until the MBP is of of warranty>

OWC can also provide the necessary tools.

Ciao.
