    Does anyone know the correct size of screws (and type) the hard drive caddy uses (the main hard drive, and not the second optional one that can be installed). It seems my screws are about to be stripped, and I rather order a replacement set before that happens.

    The four main ones that cannot be removed from the tray I'm not sure about, however I believe the four ones used to hold the HDD/SSD inside the tray are Philips head M3 x3 screws (flat profile).

    That is good that you mentioned that. I am referring to the ones that cannot* be removed from the tray. (The ones attached with a c-clip).

    Hopefully someone knows the answer to this question.
