the A1708 is famous for battery drain in stby if a non OEM Apple SSD is installed.
Got this machine with a defective SSD, installed an adaptor + 2242 nvme for testing. Works fine, but battery drain in standby; normal behavior.
I ordered a used, but exactly the same SSD (the same Apple part number) second hand (from a macbook with screen issues). Works fine, laptop lasts 10H on one battery charge.
Put them in deepstandby, confirmed by the pmset logs, and drains his battery in less than a week. Better as with an adaptor + nvme, but not the 30 days it should last on.
Battery is new.
Could it be possible this ssd must be "paired" or something with the motherboard?
