Hi all

I just got three of these and wanted to put a 22110 m.2 ssd in the leftmost slot when looking from the front. The 2280 post, unlike the two to the right of this does not screw out, I tried to screw it out and it snapped off.

The slot seems to still work perfectly though and there is a mounting post for the 22110.

Has anyone else done this and is there a less brutal way to remove that 2280 post, I still have another two machines to do?

The reason I am doing this by the way is those left two slots will both then run at pcie gen 3 x 4 for my two 22110s which is perfect as I'm using Samsung PM983s which are gen 3, I'm then putting using those two in a ceph cluster.
