    I have been looking for a 42 mm m2, any suggestions? i need it for a storage drive at least 500 gb. i have found a few that are reasonably priced, but i noticed the B+M keying on most, but the main difference is the screw mounting, most have 2 screw mount holes, our slots have one? im interested in the 850 evo in 42 mm, but the ones i have seen have 2 screw holes.
