    I want to add the second HDD to my M17X R1 so I bought a used HDD caddy from a 3rd party online. But it comes with no screws. HDD1 caddy looks like HDD0 caddy and should use the same size of the screws. I know I need 8 screws. I know exactly the size of 4 screws to tighten HDD to the caddy. They are standard M3x3mm (M3xL3) and comes with all hard drivers. But I am not sure what size of the screws I need to tighten the caddy to the M17X chassis. I know Home Depot selling all sizes of small screws. My guess is M2.5x5mm(M2.5xL5), M2.5x8mm (M2.5xL8), M3x5mm(M3xL5) or M3x8mm (M3xL8). Does anyone know what size of screws I exactly need? Thank you very much.
