I had to buy an M2 kit online just to install my last SSD. I needed a half height standoff and the tiny little screw. I guess now I have like 10 of them, so that won't happen again...
Was never a problem for me when building desktop PCs over the last several years. Motherboards came with enough. Then earlier this year I needed to add an NVMe drive to a laptop. The laptop has 2 of those slots, but not a single f*cking standoff or screw. So I had to jump on Amazon and buy a pack. So like you now, I got like 10 of those things should I ever need more. And something tells me I probably will. Always good to have supplies for the future.
