About this deal

You will want to check your system to see if these are already available before using the one that was provided with the Crucial drive. Screwing it in is just a precaution to make sure that the drive doesn’t get dislodged if you accidentally bump into your PC or something. Just went through this and tried Blue tac – I know, I know … of course as the machine environment warms up the blue tac softens.

support has these pre-installed, so don’t remove them—unless, of course, you need to move the standoff to another position. This is certainly not recommended for any serious or long-term use, but can be done for short sessions of data copying or if your screw is arriving the next day. Skill Flare X5 6000CL36 32GB / Samsung 980 1TB x3 / Super Flower Leadex V Platinum Pro 850 / EK-AIO 360 Basic / Lian Li Lancool II Mesh C / AOC AGON 35" 3440x1440 100Hz / Mackie CR5BT / Corsair Virtuoso SE / Cherry MX Board 3. Micron, the Micron logo, Crucial, and the Crucial logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Micron Technology, Inc.So you don’t need to screw them in, but it’s such a simple and easy safety measure, there’s no point not doing it.

It would be a good idea to immobilise it somehow as you don't want components freely moving around the case as they could hit something else. Anyway, check out my PC below, and there's a PCPartPicker link on my profile, If you wanna see what I'm planning. If important, I have the S340 computer case, which thumbscrews are used to secure the SSD cage/drive bay itself.You don't really need screws for it, just make sure it's not flopping around all over the place and you should be fine.

This is also why NVMe's don't feel very different from SATA SSDs unless you run very specific IO bound workloads. Yes, this is a possibility, but one that should be done with utmost care, if you don’t want to loose your data or fry you parts mid-session. Some options for what you could stick into it would be, a small wooden piece, rolled-up tissue/toilet paper, etc. as real users, posing a threat to a site’s security, so the site sometimes runs random security checks.
