Macbook Pro SSD

[ForFour]

i was wondering what difference that new 1.3 Gbps ssd, that apple puts in its new MB pro, would make compared to normal SATA 3 ssds. Number wise it is roughly the same difference as with hdd to standart ssd, hdd to ssd being quite noticable imo, but will i feel the same difference with apple's new one?

Even side-by-side my Samsung 840 Evo isn't noticeably slower than my Mac's PCIE ssd.

The difference in feel between an HDD and SSD comes from the latency difference, not bandwidth. The latency of Apple is no different from any SATA SSD, so no you will not feel a difference.

You'd notice a huge difference. I went from a Mid-2012 15" MBP with an SSD to a Mid-2014 13" rMBP (with a ~800 Mbps SSD) and the difference was insane. 

 

However, if you have an older one, there is no way to install a newer Macbook PCI_E SSD into it, as they use a proprietary SSD connector.

I have a late 2014 13" rMBP with the 1TB SSD option, which does roughly 900MB/s read and write... It is insanely fast... No storage related lag or sluggishness whatsoever and working with video is great... On the other hand, it is overkill and thus expensive, and the difference is less than it sounds like in day to day use.
