Mac Pro A1708 NVMe adapter

The Vszerda convert card lets owners of a 2016 or 2017 13 inch Mac Pro A1708 install an M.2 NGFF M-Key NVMe SSD in the 2230 or 2242 form factor. It bridges the proprietary Apple slot to a standard M.2 interface so the laptop can use widely available solid-state storage. The adapter is aimed at users upgrading capacity or replacing a failed drive in these specific machines.

Passive thermal profile

The card has no active cooling, no fan and draws power only from the host slot, so it adds no audible noise and negligible extra power draw during normal operation. Heat dissipation relies on the Mac Pro’s existing thermal solution and the SSD’s own controller throttling. Installers should ensure the drive’s thickness matches the 2230 or 2242 spec to maintain proper contact with the logic board.

Bundled hardware for installation

The package supplies the convert card, mounting screws, a retaining nut and both T5 and P5 screwdrivers required to open the Mac Pro and secure the SSD. No software, drivers or firmware utilities are included because the adapter is a purely passive mechanical and electrical bridge. The supplied bits match the proprietary fasteners Apple uses on the A1708, removing the need to source specialist tools separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Vszerda convert card and which step is most often missed?

Open the Mac Pro 13" A1708, remove the original SSD, mount the 2230 or 2242 NVME drive onto the adapter using the supplied screws and nut, secure the card with the included T5 and P5 screwdrivers, then reinstall — many forget to tighten the nut that locks the M.2 drive to the board.

What maintenance or replacement will this adapter need later?

The adapter itself is passive and requires no maintenance; only the NVME SSD mounted on it may eventually need replacement when it reaches its write endurance limit.

What limit appears first when the 2230 or 2242 NVME SSD runs sustained workloads on this card?

The SSD's own thermal throttle point is reached first because the compact adapter has no heatsink or active cooling.
