Hi,
I just purchased an Intel NVMe 128gb SSD and found that the included kit wasn't provided. Do I really need it? Since M.2 SSDs are typically flat, is it necessary?
Thanks,

They are flat, yet most motherboards are set up vertically instead of horizontally, so you require the screw. The motherboard should have included the screw, not the M.2 disk.

I don't recognize an Intel mounting kit in their documentation. Are there any references or examples you'd like me to look into?

I'm not familiar with an Intel mounting kit. I don't see any references to it in the Intel documentation. Do you have a link or example?

This specific motherboard features a standoff inserted into various fixed threaded holes. Not every motherboard works this way. My board had one mount that required shifting between the holes depending on the SSD size. The typical length is 2280. Check your motherboard manual for the correct procedure.

The shown standoff isn't an Intel, Samsung or Toshiba product. It's tailored to the motherboard model. Consult your motherboard manual.

That particular motherboard features a standoff that is driven into various fixed threaded slots. Not every motherboard has this design. My model required a different mount depending on the SSD size, as the standard length is 2280. Check your motherboard manual for the correct procedure. The shown standoff isn’t from Intel, Samsung, or Toshiba—it’s specific to the board itself. Refer to your manual.

It seems like you're asking about the inclusion of a screw and standoff on your motherboard.
