Is there a screw on the half size SSD bracket that can be used to install a full size SSD (850 evo) on the 1tb/32gb model or do i have to buy screws? What type, if so?
Ex; can i use this black screw to screw in the full size ssd at the bottom? http://www.notebookcheck.net/fileadmin/Notebooks/Dell/XPS_15_2016_9550/dell_XPS_52.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/fileadmin/Notebooks/Dell/XPS_15_2016_9550/dell_XPS_51.jpg

You cann't use the same screw that held current drive extension?

Not familiar with the screw sizes, plus it's the screw holding the ssd and bracket together. I want to make sure i can use that screw to install the full size one, obv. without the bracket.

Your question is a little confusing. I'm assuming you want to put a M.2 SATA in place of the 32gb m.2 cache drive?
If so, you don't need to use the one that is holding the 32gb m.2 drive to the bracket, you'll use the one that held the bracket to the motherboard. -
Haha, yes, that's what i mean! I didn't get the laptop yet so i haven't been able to see the internals properly. The pictures i posted above didn't have a screw holding the bracket down, so he must of took it out before taking the pictures.

as above, reuse the screw in the motherboard.

Yeah he took it out, but there is a small screw there that holds the m.2 drive down.Ravynn likes this. -
There's quite a lot of people out there with spare 32GB cache drives and little metal brackets it seems! Shame they can't be put to a good use - perhaps someone on ebay might be interested or something.
