Interesting. Thank you for the help WereCatf.

My apologies for mistaking M.2. I did mean to talk about NVMe M.2. I am not looking to use it for anything insane. I play games, music, and small video editing for friends of mine. I was just curious if it was easy to "plug in" and get back to using my system with more added storage. I had my system built by a local shop that recently relocated and their prices and labor fees are not the best. I don't really want to mess with cables and the work they have done and accidently mess something up. I have seen that NVMe M.2 is easily installed just by inserting into the motherboard.

I had had my pc for a little over a year now but, I am currently running into minor problems. I am struggling on storage space in my SSD and HDD. I have a 1T Western Digital HDD and a 250GB Samsung Evo SSD. I am looking into M.2 storage because overall curiosity and it seems simple but I want to know for sure. Any reccomended NVMe M.2 SSD's? Is M.2 really an improvment and worth it right now? If I were to get and instlal an M.2 Drive, would it be "plug and play" (installing, checking the bios to see if my pc sees the drive(s) and done)

I just want to be sure since I will have to drive it back to his place and he is building a custom desk so he will be moving it. The Elgato might fit but I am personally too "lazy" to move it and I like where it is. I am weird I know. I will see if I can bend it or even remove the metal mounting plate in general. Thank you.

I recently bought a TP-Link N900 WIFI card. I received it in shipping and was about to install it on my friends PC. His motherboard is an Asus Maxumis VIII Hero with 3 PCI-E slots. The first slot is empty, the second slot is right under almost hugging the graphics card's left fan, and the 3rd slot is used for his Elgato HD60 Pro. One of the screws from the PCB on the TPLink and the metal bracket hits the plastic shield on the motherboard. I need to either shorten the screws or buy a new pair of them but shorter. I was wondering can anyone help me identify what screws they are? There is no info on the TP-Link site where the N900 is and I tried calling their support line and they won't tell me. They want me to buy another one. I am not going to buy another one. Yes, I know wireless internet "sucks" but my friend's house is not wired in the walls and he can not run a cable throughout half his house. I hope someone on here has one or knows what I am talking about and what the screw is and looks like. *for the picture sorry I could not find a photo of the other side*
