Ja, I have an ice cream box filled with all those little screws.I battled with this sort of thing. Not for m.2 drives though, the screws for normal hard drives.
What I eventually succeeded with was going to all the little computer repair shops in town and offering to buy their spares. I've got a handy little stock now. Couldn't find any for sale formally.
Yeah it took me a while to even find someone that had hard drive screws that they were willing to sell. I literally bought the spares that they had lying around in their lab.Ja, I have an ice cream box filled with all those little screws.
But for these M2 drives.... nada... can't find anything that works.
They are really tiny screws.
I've asked at the Computer Shops... they don't sell them separately... and they all say... "use the ones that came with your motherboard" / Facepalm.
