Tower Plus EBT2250, thermal pad for the secondary NVMe SSD?
I have a Dell Tower Plus EBT2250 and it has two NVME slots for SSD drives. Strangely, the secondary slot does not have a thermal pad (there is a 20 x 20 x 5 mm thermal pad in the first slot). When I try to insert a second SSD it gets bent since there is an empty space below the drive that does not exist in the primary SSD. Where can I buy, from Dell or other vendors, a 5mm thick thermal pad to use in the second NVME slot? Is there a part number I can order from Dell?

It sounds like a drive standoff is missing -- a thicker pad isn't going to make up for that. You can call Dell spare parts wherever you're located about availability, or try a local computer shop -- the standoffs are not proprietary parts.

Indeed, I inadvertently remove the second SSD drive slot standoff. Put it back in and added the second SSD. Thanks for the reply!!

I have the same issue with my EBT2250. So, what thickness standoff should I get?
