Product: OMEN by HP Obelisk Desktop 875-1016nf
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

My computer is a OMEN by HP Obelisk Desktop 875-1016nf.

I wanted to add a SATA SSD (Crucial MX500 1 To) on the second slot I have but I don't have any screws to fix it on the slot.

So I wanted to know where I can buy screws for it ?

 

Thank you for reading.

Hi

https://support.hp.com/fr-fr/document/c06308283

Already have an HDD disk, it seems?
The screws, which are on it, can be used on the SSD?
I bought an MX500, and the screws were in the box.
you haven't had any with, aren't they the right ones?
I don't remember, because I had another screw, and I didn't use the one in the box, but it seems to me that they were the same

not sure if it helps there are references here for screws

I assume the MX500 is the M.2 NVMe type.

 

One problem finding the correct screws is that M.2 can mean 2.0 mm screw or it can be the design spec for the MVMe

 

I gave up and used a tiny sharp pointed  wood / plastic screw

 

It looks like you can take a chance on amazon here ...

Hi !

Yes I already have an HDD disk but I want to have both HDD (1st slot) and SSD (2nd slot) so I can't use the screws of the HDD ^^

 

No I didn't received any screws with the box :c

 

Thank you for the reference of the screws It might help, now I just have to know which are the one I need but It seems like standard screws so I believe it won't be a problem to find them.

 

Thank you for your awnsers, I believe I can close the topic for now I will ask again if I can't find them !

Yes, I understood just a temporary solution
You could while waiting to find the screws, use two screws for the SSD
take a screw from one side of the hdd, and one from the other side but the opposite
place the two screws, the same on the SSD
