There are ones available that are for a MacBook Pro but work I the Mac Pro but are slower than the ones for the Mac Pro. The SSDs for the Mac Pro have a black heatsink while the MacBook Pro ones do not have a heatsink.
OWC/MacSales sell SSD but they are slower than Apple's SSDs.
Apple does not sell their SSDs to the public.

You can search on Ebay, of course.
One particular: it hasn't a heat sink, but seems to work fine.
