Ease of use is massive to me, and I am sure that’s the same with most. M.2 SSDs, as sweet as they are for capacity, size and speeds, are at the best of times difficult to install simply because of the size of the #$%&^% retainer screw. Can this be concerning?

M.2 SSDs have been out for some time and, well quite frankly, they still amazing the heck out of me whenever a new one is released. I mean think about it. An M.2 SSD is the size of a stick of gum, weighs less than a AAA battery, yet can store 2 million pictures if each was around 500k. Fifteen …
