I believe they are all a standard size from what I have read. M.2 3mm deep.

Here is one sold on Amazon, and most of the negative reviews are about the price the seller is charging. I would never pay that much, but at the same time I wouldn't cry about it after I bought one.

Did you lose yours from your motherboard? If not, and it was missing, you might be able to get the manufacturer to mail you one.

Edit:

I just checked Ebay, and some people are trying to charge $45+ for one M.2 screw and standoff. :eek:

lol they are more expensive then GPUs!

I saw that seller on amazon. I'd pay that price but I'd like to have a few extras. I bought a used MB on here and then lost the screw to the abyss.

It's kind of strange how the sticks are angled up in their slots. If they laid flat then a screw might not be needed.

I think some units have packages on both sides of the stick and some might even include heatsinks so there is some extra space to accommodate that, I think.
