HELP! M.2 Bracket Missing a Screw

[ghost_lead]

Greetings all,

 

I have a small issue that I'm currently having a bit of trouble figuring out. Recently, I purchased a Samsung 970 EVO NVME SSD from Amazon (hurray for Prime Day) and was super duper excited to install it into my system. For reference, this SSD is in the 2280 config. To my dismay, when I opened up my system, I found that there was no screw attached to the board to secure the card down. I checked the motherboard box; no dice. I dove into my pile of case screws from Phanteks to see if one of those would work; no dice. I even went so far as dismantling an old hard drive from a Best Buy system to see if I could salvage the little tiny screws on the back plate; and again, no dice. Upon referencing my board's manual, it appeared as though the screw should have come pre-installed and would have required me to only take it out and then put it back in once the card was installed.

 

So internet.....I need your help. Does ANYONE know the correct size screw that would be necessary to fasten down my M.2? My motherboard is a Z270E Strix board by ASUS and is currently inside of a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv: Tempered Glass Edition ATX mid-tower (not that it really matters what case its in, but hey more info is better right?). All I'm really looking for is the dimensions of the screw itself. Additionally, any pointers on where I might find said screw would be greatly appreciated, but I would imagine any hardware store would have it or something close enough.

 

Thanks in advance for any support!

Have you checked you MOBO's box? Just in case.

check in the package that came with your m.2 drive. a couple of screws came with mine.

 

you've got 2 m.2 slots on the board, maybe the screws are all in the other slot?
