Sew, I don¡¯t mean to rain on your parade, but the. SSD is storage, not memory. It is the drive. Apple considers your 2017 MBP as vintage and won¡¯t work on it.?
Macs will use some of the drive as temporary memory. My guess is that you need 1TB (terra byte)or more of SSD. Since Apple is calling it Flash Drive, it might be soldered to the motherboard and not upgradeable. An external drive, SSD or HDD, might be an answer. I don¡¯t have the knowledge to answer that correctly, only enough to say, find someone who does.?
My MBP is an early 2008.
