How can I change the harddisk?
Is this possible with a MacBook Pro from 2017 to change the SSD m.2?
Given the propriety and end-user non-upgradability of these MacBook/Pro
and MacBook/Air models ~ with certain connectors and blade-like storage..
Not for the neophyte DIY'er. ~ You may find AASP that'd use OWC parts.
..You may have a harder time with upgrades to storage capacities.
Within time this thread came to be posted, several things I've learned
and some factoids were hidden. (As volunteer here, time has no value.)
OWC Aura Pro X2 NVMe – PCIe 3.1 x4 SSD.
[Numbers I found in duckduckgo search, incl. DIY sites]
SSD upgrades in this category example fit 2013-2015
and their link to see that items specs is here in blue.
Usually one would need kit option from OWC, may have plastic pry
tool, a few small screwdrivers, an external SSD enclosure for new
SSD (to transfer from your live Mac's SSD) And then replace Mac
internal storage SSD with new upgrade part. By now this would
have either a copy clone on its SSD; it would be ready to boot MB.
Use older SSD as extra external storage, with enclosure from OWC.
Kit should include install instructions; on paper with parts/tools.
And also may include link to OWC to view installer video files.
Only part# near your model, works with the following Model IDs
For MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Late 2013 - 2015)

• OWC Aura SSD for Mid-2013 or Later Mac - OWC Digital
https://www.owcdigital.com/products/aura-ssd
This is only an Example. Their cost estimate for 2GB of OWC item
with the external enclosure and kit runs near $430+ shipping.
Perhaps this may be an answer; or get external enclosed SSD
or larger drive enclosure (self-powered) of suitable standard.

MacBook Pro 2017 flash storage is soldered to the mainboard, so... no. Not without re-soldering.
I will check out the video on OWC! Thanks.
The a1708 MB Pro 13” has a tape on top of the disk, and with an adapter and the right ssd it should fit and be possible to upgrade.
The a7108 MB Pro 13” does the trick, now try to determine a ssd that is the best fitting and fastest option.
