SMUGDESK PH415 Adapter for A1708

The SMUGDESK PH415 bridges the proprietary A1708 SSD slot found in 20162017 MacBook Pro models to a standard M.2 MKey NVMe interface. It accepts 2230 and 2242 form factor NVMe drives so owners can replace the original Apple module with a mainstream M.2 NVMe SSD. Installation is a direct plugandplay process that requires no soldering or additional cabling.

Suits A1708 owners wanting NVMe upgrade

This adapter is intended for users of the 20162017 MacBook Pro A1708 who want to install a standard M.2 MKey NVMe drive in 2230 or 2242 size. It is not for other MacBook identifiers, for machines using a different proprietary connector, or for drives that are not MKey NVMe.

M.2 MKey NVMe 2230 2242 support

The single specification that decides compatibility is the M.2 MKey NVMe interface limited to 2230 and 2242 length drives. Only NVMe drives with those exact form factors will fit and function on the PH415 card.

Questions about this item

Does the PH415 adapter add any fan noise or heat when running all day?

The PH415 is a passive circuit board with no moving parts, so it produces no fan noise and adds negligible heat during continuous operation.

What must I already own to use the PH415 A1708 adapter?

You need a 20162017 MacBook Pro (A1708) and an M.2 MKey NVMe drive in 2230 or 2242 form factor.

Will the PH415 work alongside the original Apple SSD if I keep it?

The PH415 replaces the proprietary A1708 SSD slot with a single M.2 MKey NVMe port, so only one drive can be installed at a time.
