M.2 screw size

[Wing-Man]

Dropped one…. After spending an hour on the floor I have to give in and buy one

what size is it, or a link to one if ocuk sell one

Should be 2.0 x 3mm.

Most DIY shops probably sell them.

@Wing-Man Still needed or sorted? What's it for?

I still think it’s should be a clip

I think I've seen some motherboards with a clip/fixed screw that turns 180° to lock the drives in place which should be more commonplace as it's so easy to lose those teeny screws!

it would make sense, probably costs 5p more

Supermicro and Asrock use a plastic clip on their server boards and on older Asus motherboards (X299) some had a vertical bracket for the 2nd m.2 and that was a clip rather than a screw.

PC thumb screws are great but look fugly on small cases.
