Hi Victor,
I have a MacBook Pro with Retina display and use R everyday. I have not
seen any issues related to the flash storage.
I have not used RStudio very frequently so I cannot say if that software
works well on a Retina model - but I am assuming it does.
R is mainly a RAM-oriented tool so the flash-style disk storage probably
won't be much of a problem.
'Flash storage' (you mean an SSD, I presume) is hardly new: my 2008 Mac
Book Air had it, and all recent MBAs do (including the one I now have).
As far as any application (including R and RStudio) sees, the OS
presents a POSIX file system, and that is true for a spinning disc, an
SSD or a 'fusion drive' ....
Best Regards,
Ray DiGiacomo, Jr.

Hi,
I am thinking to change my old white MacBook for a new MacBook Pro retina
display with flash storage, but I realized that flash storage has another
logic of storage. So I would like to know if I could use R and R-Studio
without any problem with a MacBook pro flash storage.
Thanks in advance,
Víctor M. García
