The March 2015 update of Apple's 13" MacBook Pro Retina Display, model A1502, features fifth-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and introduces the Force Touch trackpad.

2.0 Gbps SSD from 15" model

Is the faster 2.0 Gbps SSD (versus 1.6 Gbps) from the 2015 15" MBP compatible with the 13" MBP? If they are I would like to retrofit my 13" with the faster drive from the 15".

Sadly, no

The newer MacBook Pro systems use a Proprietary interface based on PCIe: PCIe 2.0 x 4 lane. The previous version of MacBook Pro's use a PCIe 2.0 x 2 lane version.

Thank you for your answer but I did not mean an older Macbook. I meant taking the SSD card from a 15 MBP and putting it into a 13" MBP, both being of 2015 vintage. Apple lists the 15 model as 2 gbps and the 13 at 1.6 gbps. Im wondering if they are interchangeable, same year Macbooks Pros.

Both are listed as PCIe 2.0 x 4 lane. Sorry to say I haven't tried swapping them around.

I wonder why then the slower speed on the 13" model....
