AnandTech - OWC Announces 480GB SSD Upgrade for MacBook Pro with Retina Display
I would have almost bet on OWC coming out with this. Good going OWC!
Anand will be doing a full out review on the drive so it will be worth watching his page. His reviews are First Rate! It will be interesting to see if it beats the Apple Shipped solutions. I have a gut feeling knowing OWC that it will!
I recall Anand saying in a previous review of the new Retina's that he doubts any third party SSD would make a difference speed wise. I can't remember what his reasoning was exactly. Something to do with how the Samsung drives being fine tuned and such. I'm personally appalled at how expensive SSD's still are, considering how much more saturated the marked is with them right now vs a couple of years ago.

Well that was quick. One less reason to not buy a rMBP. Now, if only someone could figure out a workaround for the soldered-in RAM and glued-in battery.
Doug, Yes, I can get any part out but after that lets see you solder it back. They are machine soldered. Pins are micro miniature.
What.. you don't have a pin press soldering machine at your house? Pfff.. Amateur!
