    I prepare to install a msata ssd for my Thinkpad t430s, but it still haven't been sihipped and I don't know does it come with some screws in the msata slot. So does anybody know what is the size of that? Or does it need to be match with the screw holes of msata ssd?

    don't you think 3mm is too short? cause the ssd it self will occupy some height like 1mm.

    Not at all, just have a look at the screws securing your wireless adapter.

    Nope, all you need are the screws.
