Working from home and drink never a good combo.. never even thought of checking other images lolol.

What are the thin silver strips for then?

In box was two silver...two white

Are you installing the drive on the motherboard slot? I wouldn't like to put the bottom one on if that's where it's been placed. It's metal isn't it? :)

Its getting fitted onto a MSI Tomahawk B450 motherboard into the M.2 slot just above GPU.

So if the bottom plate is too close or contacting motherboard then:

Top plate
White strip
Silver strip
NVME M.2
Motherboard

?

What is the difference from white and silver strips?
 
I asked overclockers customer support.

They said its safe to have both plates on as the M.2 standoff raises it away from the motherboard.

They said put the NVME between two white strips. They said silver was only used for hard drives with nands on both side, so I am assuming this SN550 doesnt need these??

Looks smart too.. finished off motherboard very well.
 
Only thing is she said silver is nand.. and this nvme is 3d nand so im still waiting to hear incase its 1 white 1 silver.

Thought this would have been simple.
