In addition to getting the new Force Touch trackpad, the new 15\u201d MacBook Pro with Retina display also received faster PCIe-based flash storage, which Apple says is up to 2.5X faster than the previous generation.<\/p>\n

After unboxing the new model<\/a>, OWC has tested the new SSD in QuickBench 4.0. And as you can see, the speed lives up to Apple\u2019s promise of faster storage with throughput up to 2GBps.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> OWC Now Offers SSD Upgrades for 2013-Current MacBook Air & MacBook Pro with Retina display models<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0OWC Reveals Apple Boot Camp Support for SSDs<\/a><\/p>\n

It is worth noting that unlike the 12\u201d MacBook released earlier this year, which uses an Apple SSD<\/a>, the 15\u201d rMBP that OWC has tested uses a Samsung SSD. It also should be pointed out that the new 15\u201d rMBP does not use the NVM Express SSD protocol. And rest assured that\u00a0our own flash upgrade will be coming soon for this model\u00a0as well :)<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong>\u00a0OWC Tests Show 1TB SSD in 2015 15\u201d rMBP Outperforms 256GB Model<\/a><\/p>\n

Check out below from the results of our testing on the new 15\u201d MacBook Pro with Retina display:<\/p>\n
