mSATA Question

[Infamuz]

Does anybody know where I can purchase mSATA screws so I can attach it to my laptop motherboard? Thanks!!

laptopscrews.com sell a whole range of small screws used in laptops and PCBs but you will need to find out the spec on the screw, I suspect it would be something small like M2x3mm

Thanks Coup, I just checked the manual and it uses the PM2.0 x 3.5.

Why have you linked to a screw which is M2.5x3.5 when he said he needs M2x3.5?

Good question. Better catch.

Note that these are the same screws used to secure slim optical drives.

For my mSATA drive, I re-purposed one of the screws that came with one of my Silverstone SG05.

Just helped a family member stitch back together a laptop they took apart. He was missing some screws, but as Zap mentioned you can find other screws in your system that fit. After identifying what screws we needed, we headed to Radio Shack and Frys but surprizingly had little luck. We walked over to the Home Depot in the same plaza and surprize! They had a variety of smaller screws. We didn't find it at Home Depot, but Lowes had it.
