    I am looking to install my 2.5" hdd in my secondary internal slot. I have the caddy but not the screws to fasten the hdd to the caddy. Do you know where to get these screws? I called a local computer store and they say they dont carry the screws and they are not universal but proprietary to each model. Is this true? Cant i just buy any set of screws for a 2.5" caddy? I just need 4 screws. Can you point me to some that i can buy? Any specific size I need? I was just going to choose some on ebay?

    Looking for the drive screws on the side of the drive. The link you provided is for a site is from europe and $17. Not interested in that, but the screws listed are rhe right ones.

    Anyone else?

    what you can do, I guess, is using two screws from the other hard disk until you find new screws.
