MacBook Pro A1708 upgrade SSD

This internal SSD is built for the MacBook Pro A1708 models released in 2016 and 2017. It uses a PCIe 3.0 NVMe interface and 3D TLC NAND flash to deliver 256GB of storage. The drive arrives with macOS 10.13 or later pre-installed so the system boots immediately after installation.

Thermal and power profile

Dynamic thermal protection regulates drive temperature across an operating range of 0 to 70 °C. The controller draws power from a 3.3 V supply with a ±5 % tolerance. Sequential reads reach 2200 MB/s and writes reach 1800 MB/s while maintaining stable thermals during normal workloads.

Build and day-to-day fit

The drive measures 7 mm by 8 mm by 1 mm and weighs 20 g, matching the slim slot in the A1708. Rated MTBF is 100000 hours with data retention beyond 20 years at 25 °C. Storage tolerance spans -45 to 85 °C, so the drive survives transit and long-term storage without degradation.
