How is that even possible to screw up? That’s almost as easy as installing RAM.

Your friend can’t read the manual that comes with the ssd?

I laugh at people who do this kind of thing. All it takes is one minute to find out how to do something like this correctly. Not even going to help people that are this dumb.

It’s crucial that he doesn’t bend it.

He’s a donkey and there’s a good chance his hooves damaged the m.2 slot, not just the drive.

I once had to redo an entire pc take everything off including fans, because the child who did it had no idea what he was doing. The 2 nvme drives were like that.
JonLeDude
Dang, he pushed it well beyond the standoff screw. This pains me greatly.

I need to unsee this.

Did it actually break or was he able to remount it normally and it worked?

Blur that shit next time and give a warning. I started violently crying seeing this murder.

I hope you replied with “not like that!”

You can tell your friend that the correct answer is “not like that”

That’s why consoles are so popular. 🦧

I literally just got that ssd about 2 weeks ago. Crucial P3. Fast little blighter.
That image hurts my soul.

I believe that it is Crucial not to bend the NVME drive.
Also Crucial would be to ensure proper fitting in the dedicated slots.
Lastly, my friends here confirm that another Crucial aspect would be not to fracture the NVME PCB.
But we’re not experts so…

Well, that NVME is truly mounted and … *Censored word here*
​
Really, putting the drive under the spacer rather then on top and under the screw is … Ouch

No, some people just aren’t capable of following basic directions and using common sense

The worst part is he saw it bend during installation, and continued.

Your friend is more damaged than that SSD

How can you f-up an Easy Latch. It’s idiot proof

I understand that not everyone is mechanically inclined. But, failure to understand the concept of Tab-A-Into-Slot-B on this level is astounding.
I mean, they have to understand that you’re not supposed to bend it, right? Many of these drives have an adhesive heat spreader attached which acts as a stiffener. But, even without that they are not that easy to bend. When your fingertips start turning white, maybe it’s time to stop forcing it?
I can understand not being able to install it. What I don’t understand is the decision to bend the drive at a 20° angle trying to make it fit, instead of admitting defeat and asking for help before you damage it.

Ask your friend how he manages to walk upright.
How stupid can you be lmao. Common sense left the room.
I didn’t read a manual. I just unscrewed the cover and inserted the drive. It’s the simplest thing.
I just saw somebody do this exact same thing in one of LTT’s Extreme Tech Upgrades yesterday lol. Apparently it’s a common thing… Who knew?!
It seems your friend has made a crucial mistake

Never realised that nvme SSDs need a “do not bend” label!
If by mount he meant fucked, he mounted it
Does it flex? No? Then don’t flex it.
