I throw away the plastic M.2 screwdriver I got with my 250gb drive. Now they don't come with them anymore and it's so aggregating, who came up with this god awful attachment mechanism anyway?

    You don't have a screwdriver? M.2 screws don't use any sort of special screw head. They're almost always a regular phillips screw size #0 or #1, maybe even being cut for a flathead to work as well.

    I don't think I've ever even seen a drive come with a screwdriver.

    The M.2 screw itself usually comes with your motherboard. But even then, they're fairly standard. The specification is for a M2-0.4 x 3mm screw.
