Hardware brand(s) in pre-bought laptops?

Anyone who have opened up their laptop when example upgrading their SSD or adding a extra storage device who looked over the current SSD the computer laptop had inside already and what brand/product it was? Just curious... if they use their own brand (for example a Asus SSD in a Asus laptop or a Macbook SSD in a Macbook laptop) although highly unlikely, cause I never heard of Apple producing their own SSDs, and if they ever did they would be overpriced as f... I bet. (Lol!) So i'm just thinking if they use some cheap SSD brand or a highly quality one like Samsung Evo (everyone know's different SSDs have different speeds).

brands use a variety of different oems, but generally the higher you go in price you begin to get better ssds, ram, hdds, etc. 

 

iirc Lenovo uses Samsung OEM SSDs, and HP uses SKHynix RAM. But that depends on unit.

For some reason, I seereally loud Hitachi drives in very high end laptops, but I've seen the quietest, fastest, most basic little Samsung SpinPoint (actually a Seagate Barracuda) in some cheap laptops, so it really depends.
