The SSD I purchased for my Macbook Pro A1708 replaced a conventional SSD. I connected it using an adapter, which you can purchase in 2022 on eBay or through Ali.com. The flight was normal, though the casing started to slightly sag, but the adapter is made for 2242 and not 2280, so passive cooling)) helped.
