M.2 solid state drives (SSD) are replacing SATA Gen 3 drives with their insane performance. Learn how to install an M2 drive with this how to / tutorial video!
To install an M.2 Drive do the following. Turn off your PC. Unscrew the small phillips head screw from the proper M.2 slot on your motherboard, make sure you remove the correct screw to accommodate the length of your M2 drive. Insert the M2 drive gently at a 30 degree angle and slowly slide it in until it stops. Then push the drive down flat on the mobo, reinsert the phillips screw, and tighten it down with light force. Then open up your BIOS and ensure the drive is enabled and being read. That’s it! Installing an M.2 SSD is easy and can be done in about 5 minutes.
**NOTE: If your motherboard or SSD comes with an M.2 spacer/standoff you should install it into the motherboard under the screw. Mine was already installed in this video.**
High end M.2 SSD drives are over 6 times faster than the world’s fastest SATA drives! These drives are awesome and I highly recommend them for Windows boot drives, video editing, or any very fast read / write performance applications.
The drive being installed is a Samsung 960 Pro 512GB M.2 SSD drive into my MSI M7 Gaming Desktop motherboard. Links to the 960 pro and the lower cost, but still very fast Samsung 960 Evo are below.

thanks mates! ur video straight to the point! subs there for u!
the m.2 placement part is confusing no clue how to read the charts my manual has or what the explanation they provide means.
what about the thermal plate that fits over the drive?
is it possible to install more then one of these?
shaggy from scooby doo?
ESD bracelets don't work
1. Why you touch the SSD with your bare hands? you could easily grab it by the sides
2. Why don't you show in Windows how the SSD is detected/what we have to do in order to be detected?
Wow thanks!
my screwdrivers are a little magnetic… do I avoid those kinds of screwdrivers?
Hey, me and my brother did it and a new drive appeared with 500GB space opened now did it work or it just opened 500GB
My motherboard doesn’t have a screw already in it where the m.2 slot is. Where can I get one
Came for tutorial, subscribed since you did it in 2:40 rather than stretch the video out to 10 minutes.
Can I ask why you got the pro over the plus?
You gave that info in less than 3 minutes? Damn, man!
Thank you very much for mentioning that the SSD rests at an angle. I thought mine was broken/bent. Thanks!!!!!
Thanks!
Hi ive installed a m.2 evo plus into my gv72 7rd msi gaming laptop but can't seem to boot from it even though the clone seems successful and i can acess it. i used the samsung data migration program. Is there a fix for this?
What if the ssd doesnt spring up like that and stay at 30 degrees? Mine just kind of went in and stayed flat pretty much
Yo, i just want to asked that if you use the ssd in the first m.2 slot like what you did in the vids, can you still use the 1x pcie slot next to the ssd together? Thank you!
is really this easy to install the m2 ssd??
960 Evo Pro. Man has taste.
No cables??
Casually does it on carpet
Incredibile and fast technology for me! 🥰
1000th comment!
Very perfectly fit with innocence and smartness thanks will get m.2 asap i have b450 board, and do need to make any bios change or let be default and can sata drive and m.2 both works read same time lastly were to install windows m.2 or sata.
HELP! I have gigabyte aorus Pro WiFi motherboard and it has 2 M.2 slots. Idk where to put my M.2 ssd. (My ssd is same as yours btw, 1 notch). Should I put it at the top or the bottom slot?
Nice vid, I was expecting the first result to be 10+ mins of rambling with a loud dubstep intro.
how long is the ssd in cm?
What screwdriver should I use? I'm sorry I'm unsure if I should stick with my #2 screwdriver or use a #1.
What if u have no screw
Is 1tb SATA with 16gb optane memory “OR” 1tb SATA with 128gb m.2 ssd fast which one is the best!!"
So its storage and not memory?
