Drive Tray Screws

Does anyone happen to know what kind of screws are used for attaching drives to the drive trays? (For an 8200, but they seem to be pretty standard across models...)

I would have thought that I could find some workable replacements in the giant vat of odd screws we have, but no such luck - any that have the right threads don't sit flush enough to let the tray actually go into the cage.

Most, if not all, 2.5" drives use a M3 x 3mm screw. You can find some various head options on Amazon to fit the task.

The traditional 3.5" and 5.25" drives typically use a #6-32 threaded screw.

Thanks - the threads seem correct on those, but the heads on any I can find aside from what comes with them are too big and won't sit flush on the non-recessed side. I thought there might be some specific difference.
