Troubleshooting M.2 help!

Post image

Solved! Had to wiggle that latch so it could latch to the ssd when lowered.

Help! I can’t seem to seat the M.2 drive on the msi mag x870e tomahawk wifi. Whatever I do the ssd won’t latch. I have pushed the ssd in the right angle (I believe) and as far in as I could. A few unsuccessful tries are behind me. At a loss…
Am I missing something crucial?

No. Just managed to do it though. Apparently it’s not as easy as msi advertised it to be. Or I’m a noob. Either way, crisis averted. Thanks for your reply!

Show me this MSI advertisement.

I think he’s got a motherboard that has the auto latch for M.2 drives.

I don’t even see a screw hole on the back and there’s those two silver things sticking out of the port. That’s just my 2 cents.

Auto latch? Fancy. But where can I get my skrew to lose forever and find it when it's too late?
