spent 10 mins fiddling with the drive before I realized I needed a screw to secure it. Spent 10 mins trying progressively smaller screws. Got fed up and used two riser mounts to "secure" it. Immediately afterward while looking for a bracket, found an m.2 screw unrelated to this drive that I forgot I had.

And then of fucking course the tiny little bastard fell onto the carpet.

I no longer feel such a strong need for an m.2 drive for myself due to that stupidly tiny specific screw.

Oh balls man. Thats like one of those mind teaser puzzle boxes where you have to navigate a ball through a maze.

Only so so much worse.

They could at least have it a standard size where you can easily get a replacement. Whoever designed that standard deserves a slap in the face.
