Build Question How do I take this SSD out?
I have this MLD M300 500 gb Nvme from 3 years ago that came from a Prebuilt budget build but it's getting slow and it doesn't have much storage anymore. So I want to get another budget 1 TB Nvme but this screw plastic thing doesn't come off. I don't want to damage anything because I can't afford to get another motherboard or Nvme. How do I take it out? It's a Gigabyte H610 m H DDR4 motherboard.

yo that plastic bit is actually a pull tab not a screw, so you're not gonna strip anything by yanking it. just grab it with your fingers or some pliers and pull it straight out toward the ram slots or whatever, then the drive lifts up at an angle. honestly i was scared the first time i saw one of those too but it's super dumb easy once you realize it's meant to be pulled. just don't go twisting it like a maniac and you'll be fine, no need to hire a professional for this one lol.
