M.2 Drive DIY Mount Ideas

[gregoinc]

Recently purchased a used Supermicro H11SSL-i motherboard. Only issue... it didn't come with the nylon mounting clips to retain the M.2 drive in place.

Unfortunately Supermicro doesn't sell spare parts to us folks in the great land down under, so I am looking for some suggestions on possible DIY solutions for mounting the M.2 drive. I wish Supermicro used screw in drive mounts... but anyway, I digress.

Any suggestions on solving this issue much appreciated.

M.2 Anchor

the adv. of the Anchors is you don't need to remove the motherboard if you want to replace a 80mm SSD with a 110mm one i.e.

I have seen people take a pan-head screws and rubber/paper washers and mounted the nvme with it (that's a 1$ bill from the local tools shop). As @RolloZ170 mention already, motherboard standoffs also work.

EDIT: @Rand__ >> @RolloZ170

@RolloZ170 mentioned the standoffs, not I
