My A1708 MBP had a faulty SSD. It would only be recognized at boot under certain conditions (battery <75%, not plugged in). I bought a Sintech adapter, but ultimately didn’t use it because of various concerns. When I saw this 512GB replacement for $160, I decided to take a gamble and give it a try.I struggled a bit with their instructions on opening my A1708, but ultimately watched some Youtube videos to get it open. The drive is physically shaped like the original (see pictures) unlike the Sintech solution. No problem reinstalling MacOS following their instructions. I charged my MBP to 100%, and put it to sleep. 16 hours later I reopened it, and battery was at 74%.The reason I can’t give this 5 stars is because it doesn’t compete performance wise with the Apple original. My best Blackmagicdesign read speeds were 1600 MB/s. Best write speeds were 1365 MB/s, but that was sustained only for a few seconds. My worst write speeds were 45MB/s. This was anecdotally confirmed by some excruciating long software reinstall times. I suspect there’s a write cache that helps performance for general use, but this drive is worthless for write intensive applications.That said, I wasn’t expecting an upgrade for the price, I just wanted to make my MBP generally usable again, and it is.

I bought a MacBook Pro in 2017, model A1708. I loved it, but it ran out of AppleCare and I very quickly ran out of space. The A1708 shipped with 128 GB of space, less than the smartphone I carry, so it was totally inadequate. I loved how fast it was, so I didn't want to give up my laptop to continue having a functional computer. I found this SSD solid state drive, watched some YouTube videos, and decided to give it a try.I don't have a spudger, screwdrivers, or suction cup. This kit comes with everything you need to unscrew and pop open the MacBook case (which WILL void your warranty, be forewarned) and remove the existing SSD and replace it with this larger capacity SSD.I was nervous about messing it up, so I watched a couple YouTube videos (google INDMEM MacBook SSD A1708 instructions) and read through the leaflet. The box contains everything you need -- a plastic pry tool, a triangular paddle, a silicone suction cup, and 2 screwdrivers. Just make sure you follow your basic A+ safety -- shut down the computer, unplug it from power, "ground" yourself before you get started to discharge static electricity, etc.I wiped my disk clean and started from scratch with a new install of macOS Monterey, but if you have anything on your Mac that you need to save, make sure you have an external hard drive and run Time Machine to back up your disk first.
