15-Inch Retina MacBook Pro Users Experiencing Fan Issues Related to SanDisk SSDs?

And much as my inner fanboy hates to say it, but Samsung parts are always the best parts in Apple products.

Just look at the display even, and the SSD now.

My early 1990s Macintosh Classic doesn't have this problem.

"high quality well engineered computer"

LOLZ

The guy needs to get his priorities straight. His first problem is he needs to reevaluate how much Coldplay is in his music library, the cooling fan is a distant problem in comparison. :(

Should have used a Samsung SSD.

I am so frustrated with all these problems with my rMBP. It has been months since an update and it makes me feel as though apple doesn't think there is really a problem. I paid a lot of money for what could be considered their best and flag shop mac. I am a product design professional and that is who the rMBPs are catered to. My whole job is done on our computers. The graphic glitches are a big deal when designing. Also, the not waking from sleep and loosing data. The fan issue bugs because it uses my battery like crazy when I am only browsing the internet. The inconsistent wifi connection prevents fluid and quick research and referencing (which I do all day long).

I have done everything to fix the problem myself from clean reinstall and no restore from time machine, 6 lengthy visits to the apple store, and patience for updates.

The most frustrating part is Apple almost haven't even acknowledged these issues over the past few months. The apple store geniuses have been very nice but haven't provided any real solution.

I am over reacting or is this as big a deal as I feel it is?

Run away Fan.

A run away fan usually means that the Regulating Code has crashed. Its part of the Failsafe built into the System A unregulated Fan runs 100% the regulation is what slows it down. That way if something goes wrong no additional damage can happen through the over heating of Vital Components. So it would be interesting to check the related Crash-logs.

I had the issue, and am part of several threads on it. I simply took 3 different computers back...not for 2800$ am I going to beta something.

And the Sandisks were no slower than the Samsungs in the 13rmbp, which ironically is what I've decided to keep.
My fans would randomly go all the way to high, even though system was idle. They would also ramp up and down on a usb 3.0 file transfer over 2GB. No thanks.

Really makes me question what Apple has been doing with their notebooks lately. I'm typing this on a first generation Revision A MacBook Unibody from 2008 and the fans are sitting at 1760RPM with 7 applications running, one of which is rendering some audio right now. All of a sudden, a flagship MacBook from 2013 spools up the fans for no reason when playing lossless files in iTunes? That's kind of ridiculous. My machine is not without its faults (the screen has some pretty atrocious viewing angles and whatnot) but at least those faults were known before purchasing the machine and weren't things we as users are essentially beta testing for Apple.

I know I probably sound like the biggest hater out there right now, but Apple really needs to step it up. My experience when I had my retina 15" for a few weeks has seriously made me question their quality control (my retina had a squeaky case, a buzzing keyboard backlight, sleep issues, heating up when closed, and connectivity issues) and I returned it in spite of its speed and beauty. They can't rest on their laurels and it's really showing. As bad as it sounds, returning it and going back to my 2008 MacBook was almost freeing... I couldn't enjoy the retina purely because every time I picked it up, I felt like I'd find yet another ludicrous issue with it. At least my old workhorse was flawless, reliable and, though slow, something that wouldn't just decide not to wake from sleep or ramp up the fans for no reason... and it's a revision A product too.

TL;DR - I'll be seriously holding off my decisions on a Haswell MacBook until all the issues have been revealed. It's getting frustrating that Apple hasn't figured stuff like this out.

Why’s there always so many Samsung contractors commenting on MacRumors?!!!! So obvious they are paid by Samsung or just extreme Korean patriots, the former has higher probablity.

LOL.

you'd have rather have inferior parts than just own up to your fanboyism.

The ideal customer.

I'll be sure to give you a fast food grade cut of meat at Mortons and charge you their premium price because you don't seem to mind.
