    Hey all,

    I currently own a 128 GB 14" Blade 2013.
    I intend to install a new 500GB Samsung 840 EVO mssd inside on the secondary port.

    Firstly, does anyone know whether there is a screw for the new mssd available in the port already? Or do I have to find one on my own. The problem is that I don't have any spare screws lying around.

    If the Blade doesn't come with any extra screws, where can I get one to screw my new mssd down? The Samsung 840 evo doesn't come with spare screws.
    Or should I just spend 10 more dollars for the Crucial M550 which should come with spare screws?

    There is a spare screw to install the extra MSata SSD. You just need to buy the SSD, no need for the screws !

    Hi,
    There are a screw on the secondary msata port and also i think that you should spend the extra dollars for the m550 but not for the screw is because i read in other pages that is better than the samsung (also has 512gb instead the 500 of the samsung).
