Direct-fit upgrade for A1708
This GAMERKING 1TB NVMe SSD is built to the original interface of the 13-inch MacBook Pro A1708 from 2016 and 2017 without a Touch Bar. It replaces the factory drive directly, using 3D NAND TLC flash and a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 link. The drive suits creative workloads such as photo and video editing as well as gaming.
Thermal regulation and efficiency
An aluminium alloy heat-dissipation design works with intelligent temperature management to keep the drive stable under load. Support for NCQ, TRIM, SMART and ECC protects data integrity while the controller regulates power draw during normal use. No adapter is required, so the original thermal path is preserved.
Installation requirements and system impact
The Mac must run macOS 10.13 or later before installation, otherwise the drive will not be recognised due to legacy EFI firmware. The single-slot form factor leaves all other internal space and ports untouched. Touch Bar models and any other MacBook variants are not supported.

Questions about this item
How is the 1 TB NVMe drive installed in the MacBook Pro 13 A1708 and what step is often missed?
The drive uses a 1:1 design that plugs directly into the original Apple slot — no adapter needed — but you must update to macOS 10.13 or later first, otherwise the EFI firmware will not recognise the new SSD.
What maintenance or replacement will the 1 TB NVMe SSD need over time?
The 3D NAND TLC flash supports TRIM and SMART for ongoing health monitoring; no scheduled maintenance is required, and the drive is replaced only if SMART reports a failure after years of use.
What limit appears first during sustained heavy workloads on this 1 TB NVMe SSD?
The aluminium alloy heat-dissipation design manages temperature to maintain peak performance; the first limit reached under continuous load is the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface ceiling of 2500 MB/s read and 2000 MB/s write.
