Which PCIe SSD for MacBook Pro?

Suddenly there are numerous interfaces for SSDs! I can't figure out which PCIe SSD is needed for Apple MacBook Pro MF839LL/A (13.3-Inch with Retina Display).

Is Mini PCI-Express the same as Mini PCIe(SATA)?

Can someone show me an appropriate SSD at Newegg?

Thanks!
 
Apple uses custom form-factor SSDs in Macs, so you can't just buy any drive from NewEgg. Currently, OWC is the only source for aftermarket SSDs for MBPs, but the downside is that they are slower than the SSDs Apple use (OWC's are just two SATA 6Gbps SSDs behind a RAID controller, which means awful latency and random performance). Your best option is to seek for replacement Apple drives on eBay, although those won't be cheap.
 
As others said, with a MacBook, you can't upgrade the machine freely without going down a specific route.
 
Wow! It is good that I asked before ordering the MacBook!
I think I will stay with Windows and Dell.

Thanks guys!
