Is the SSD replaceable in this model?

So I've seen another member ask this type of question, but it didn't quite answer my question. So if I have a 2.3ghz model, and it came with a 256gb SSD, will the parts from a 2.6ghz model that comes with a 512gb SSD work? LIke if I take out the 256gb SSD and replace it with a 512gb SSD from the 2.6ghz model. Just wondering if it works, if it doesn't, I think I'll have to wait for OWC..

Yes they should - Apple will build it that way for you (the 2.6ghz is a custom build up of the 2.3ghz model). I don't think that it would be cost effective-but if you could luck into a damaged 2.6GHz model with a working 512GB Samsung flash memory module it will work. That's still the great thing about Apple - if it "fits" it generally works.
