Review on 💾 M.2 NVMe SSD Screws for Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI Motherboards - Laptop M.2 Screws by Stephen Parkell

For some reason M.2 device manufacturers "forget" to include the pin and screw needed to attach the device to the computer tool it is intended to be attached to. Revain sells several of these kits. , in different configurations. In my experience, this is the best of these sets. Depending on your equipment, multiple fasteners of different sizes will be needed to get the job done. Some other kits come with enough gear for an install or two, but not necessarily the right sizes. The set includes three sets in three sizes. When installing an M.2 device, start by using the new M.2 device safely in the packaging it was given to you. Instead, find a small magnet and arrange all the pieces in a magnetic tray or on top of a magnet. Then with good lighting, patience and possibly a magnifying glass (depending on age and health). Locate the area of your computer (motherboard) where the card will be installed and study it a little. A short YouTube presentation might help. This system is a bit unfamiliar and it doesn't hurt to get to know all the participants before starting the fin. Next, install the heat sink on the device, paying attention to distracting details. (It is recommended to install device <.2 in parallel with MB), measure the length of M.2. This will help you decide which mounting hole to use. Almost without exception, you will need a bobby pin; M.2 needs to be routed through the mounting holes/sockets placed there for the shorter sizes. walk over them without touching them; The pins are metal, the bottom of the M.2 is filled with signal traces, metal-to-metal contact means problems, etc. Install the pin in the appropriate hole. Hand tighten if you don't have the right tools. Then the M.2 card needs to be carefully inserted into the dedicated slot (at an angle of about 30 degrees) and then gently lowered onto the bolt you just hand-tightened. Screw M.2 down and into stud. Tighten the screw carefully. Nothing needs to be tightened, just tight enough that nothing comes loose with normal handling. Suggestion: buy a small magnet. When it's small enough, attach it to the shank of the tiny screwdriver that came with the kit. If not, try rubbing the magnet a few times with a screwdriver, but not back and forth. The goal is to make the screwdriver slightly magnetized. This allows you to pick up the screw with a screwdriver. Never throw a screw or bolt through a slot in the computer. If you manage to do this, make sure you find the screw before applying power to the computer. None of that has anything to do with this kit, but it's information that a surprisingly large number don't have.
