1TB NVMe upgrade for MacBook Pro A1708

This 1TB NVMe solid-state drive is built for the MacBook Pro A1708 non-Touch Bar models released in 2016 and 2017. It replaces the original Apple SSD using a proprietary pin-out that fits the factory slot. The drive delivers sequential reads up to 2150 MB/s and writes up to 1650 MB/s on the 1TB capacity.

PCIe Gen3 x4 interface limits

The drive uses a PCIe Gen3 x4 electrical interface, so its maximum throughput is capped by that generation’s bandwidth. Speeds will not exceed the 2150 MB/s read and 1650 MB/s write figures stated for this capacity. Older macOS releases before 10.13 High Sierra cannot address the controller, so the drive will remain invisible until the operating system is updated.

Installation requires macOS 10.13 or later

Before fitting the drive, the original SSD must be updated to macOS 10.13 High Sierra or a newer version; otherwise the new drive will not be recognised. After installation, the drive must be erased and reformatted before restoring macOS via Time Machine, a USB installer or Internet Recovery. Some units ship with a pre-installed macOS image and a default power-on password of 1234, 123, space + enter or just enter.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256GB, 512GB, 1TB or 2TB version for my A1708 MacBook Pro?

All four capacities fit the non-Touch Bar MacBook Pro A1708 (2016-2017); choose 1TB for a balance of space and the quoted 2150 MB/s read and 1650 MB/s write speeds, or 2TB if you need maximum storage.

What does the 2150 MB/s read figure actually deliver inside my MacBook Pro A1708?

The drive reaches up to 2150 MB/s sequential read and 1650 MB/s write on the 1TB model, giving faster boot times and quicker application launches once macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later is installed.

Does the NVMe PCIe interface run at full speed in the 2016-2017 MacBook Pro A1708?

Yes, the NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 connection is native to the A1708 non-Touch Bar logic board, so the SSD operates at its rated 2150 MB/s read and 1650 MB/s write without adapter bottlenecks.
