Are Apple SSDs Proprietary?
I picked up a MacBook Pro A1398 for fairly cheap and it did not include an SSD. Does apple use a proprietary SSD or can I put another type of SSD in there?

Apple always use proprietary SSDs on Retina MacBook Pros, however it is just in form factor. I believe in some models it is possible to make it work with an adaptor, but you wouldn't be able to close the bottom lid because there won't be enough space.

Tom, take a look at Dan's link. These just came out about a month ago.
Those are custom designs to fit the "proprietary" slots.
I just completed this upgrade using a regular SSD and an adaptor for my mid 2012 retina macbook pro.
You have two options:
1. Buy an m2 form factor SSD from OWC or from ifixit
2. Buy a regular ssd and buy a msata to M.2 adaptor - here are the ones I used:
- SAMSUNG 850 EVO mSATA 1TB Mini-SATA (mSATA) Internal SSD Single Unit Version MZ-M5E1T0BW
- mSATA SSD Adapter for MacBook Pro Retina A1425 MD212 MD213 ME662 (52 Pin)
- mSATA to USB 3 adaptor and M.2 to USB3 adaptor
Then
1. Backup your data to an external drive or two
2. Confirm your backup works
3. Put the mSATA SSD into the USB 3 adaptor
4. Clone the internal SSD into the mSata SSD (use internet booting on your MBP or the backup from step #1
5. Follow the iFixit tear down guide to extract the SSD and install the mSATA SSD (that you have put into the MSATA SSD to M.2 Adaptor

Here's a good source for a replacement: OWC Retina SSD upgrades.
