Battery drain since SSD Upgrade (Sabrent) + rebooting problem
Hey guys!
I upgraded the storage of my Macbook Pro mid 2017 with sintech adapter (A1708) and Sabrent SSD. Since that I feel like I’m having a faster battery drain in idle than before.
Can someone tell me how long their MacBook Pros from 2017 (with original storage) are staying alive without using it? Maybe I’m just wrong but I dont think so.
Before some asks: I already did some changes to the system power settings. Are these right?
System-wide power settings:
Currently in use:
- lidwake 1
- autopoweroff 1
- standbydelayhigh 60
- autopoweroffdelay 259200
- proximitywake 1
- standby 1
- standbydelaylow 60
- ttyskeepawake 1
- hibernatemode 25
- powernap 1
- gpuswitch 2
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
- highstandbythreshold 50
- womp 1
- displaysleep 5
- networkoversleep 0
- sleep 1
- tcpkeepalive 1
- halfdim 1
- acwake 0
- disksleep 10
Update (11/08/2021)
I installed SSDPmEnabler and terminal says it’s running correctly, but battery is still draining while MacBook ist closed.
Rebooting is still not working. It shuts down but doesn’t boot up again. I have to press the power button myself. Afterwards macOS is showing a message that the system wasn’t shut down correctly.

I have a Macbook Pro and also facing this issue. I thought it was due to Spotlight indexing but my battery drains 20% overnight. So definitely something happens with the hardaware.
I set pmset hibertanate mode 25, but nothing changed so I guess there is no fix. But I will still search for something

@Yi Qiang Ji - This is a big issue with M.2 SSD's in MacBook Pro's.

So weird. Why does that happen? It's definitely not the normal power consumption by the SSD

@PC Acrobats - You are assuming the Apple & M.2 SSD's are the same. Apple controls their interface and they have extra lines within it to the custom Apple blade SSD. These lines are not present in the M.2 SSD. So the M.2 SSD can't properly communicate with system.
Sure the PCIe interface is present in both which is why the M.2 SSD will work but its not a direct match! Without re-engineering the M.2 SSD to add in the extra lines Apple expects, you have what you have a power drain.
Just look at the number of contacts between them.

It's a pity that we have this issue... But well, I guess it's the payoff for lore storage at a more reasonable price ?
