How do I know which screws are for the SSD?

[Ricardo56]

Actually I probably should've posted this on "cases" since it's Kolink's fault for not really separating what screws are for what

 

SSD: 250gb 850 evo

Case: Kolink Luminosity

 

I know it's kind of a hard question to answer but if anyone knows I appreciate it

 

thanks

Also I do know the golden ones are standoffs so it's not all bad

Left 80% or wait it could be right.... mehh left!

Well yeah but even on the left they come in a somewhat wide variety. Maybe I should just try all of them out ._.

[Delian]

But why would there be standoffs on a SSD?

Those are the case's screws, I pointed out that the golden ones are standoffs just to let everyone know I know at least that much so I could rule them out. I'm stupid, I know

I believe they will be the fine thread screws from the bag on the left.  Go slow and don't strip the threads.

you use the small screws.. the one with round heads and small threads.
the ones with hexagonal heads and bigger threads are for 3.5" drives and motherboard (or the standoffs)

There  will be more than one type for your hard disks and according to the application the standoff screws will fit some 2.5 hard disks.

I think I sorted them out 

 

Also turns out the case only comes with 6 standoffs so I actually do need these, thought they were in case I lost some ._.

 

thx

yes, the top ones are for ssd (and optical drives or other stuff you put into the media bays)
and the bottom ones are for the mainboard.

some "mainboard" screws have round heads (these were usually used for 3.5" drives) but yo ucan easily tell them apart by the thread. study the difference for a bit and you'll be able to sort out screws easily ion your own next time
