Who supplies MBP SSDs?

[MCHR]

Coming back to the fold and have a few questions.

I’ve just placed an order for a 14” M4 Pro MBP, so the 12/16 chipset. I bumped up the capacity to 1TB so I’m looking forward to the storage.

Question I have, who is the supplier for the SSD? I’d been running a Samsung EVO in my current (and aging) MBP with zero issues. I can’t imagine there would be any issues, but was curious for stability reasons.

Coming from a (gasp) 2010 13” MBP it should be a literal rocketship

Thanks

I asked Apple Tech Support few months ago about the source and speeds of the SSD. They had no idea and asked me to check with macrumors!

Apple doesn't use standard NVMe drives. They use their own controller integrated into the main chip package and then use NAMD from Kioxia (formerly known as Toshiba).

I don't believe Apple provides TBW or anything similar for systems' internal drives but their long-term durability appears to be at least as good as good prosumer SSD. I would guess the 1 TB in your new Mac would rate >1000 TBW.

That M4 Pro likely 20x...

SanDisk and Kioxia.

You can see them from the plenty of videos from upgrading shops who take out the base 512GB and up it to 4TB or 8TB.

Someone told me the SSDs in MacBooks are enterprise grade. Not sure if this is true, if it is then this a good thing.
