    hi guys,

    as the title says, what type of screws do I need when I remove the spacer off the Intel 320 Series SSD to make it fit a 7mm slot?

    thanks!

    i took an ordinary cross, size didn't matter. smaller and bigger ones all fit (gen2 here, though). at least nothing special needed.

    edit: screw? not screwdriver? language problems here, i think? you want to put in other screws? or just care about the screwdriver?
