    Hi! I'll order m14x with only a HDD 500gb 7200rpm. I want to buy a crucial mSATA 256gb by myself and use it for OS a main programs. I read there's a little problem: if i order the notebook without a mSATA, i don't have the screw for install a mSATA purchased by meself. Can someone post a photo of the original screw? Becouse i'll recive the notebook for Christmas, and i'll haven't a way for going to search for a screw like the original screw for 2-3 days after Christmas...and becouse i'll use the mSATA for operating system, i'll need to have that screw before. I know, from a photo i can't understand exactly the dimension, but i can buy 4-5 similar screws, and hope that one of those works. Thank you

    I believe the best wayto do it would be to get int the PC and look for a number that will tell you the size of the screw you need or maybe another user can give us a hand on this specification :p
