I recall reading the reply. Thing is, the first bag of screws I ordered didn't have any size info only that they should fit a hard drive, SDD and possibly a laptop, if there is any difference between a hard drive/SDD going in a laptop as opposed to a desktop. ;-) On the second order, I used the info from your reply to order another set of screws. So the email was to confirm what was shared, although I couldn't recall who shared it on the list earlier, was the correct size at least for several hard drives I have laying around here. Perhaps most hard drives do follow some sort of standard after all. :-) So to recap, the info you provided was correct and my update was to confirm that. I sometimes do this sort of thing just in case it might help others in the future. After all, the first bag of screws wasn't free and it turned out to be a waste of money and time unless I eventually find a use for them, which may or may not happen. I'm just glad I finally got some screws for this since I'm tired of having to go dig and even remove screws from other things to install new drives. I guess two screws will hold a hard drive in place in most cases. I hope because I have a few of those at the moment. o_O Thanks for the info. It was good and correct info and I was able to confirm it as being so. Maybe that will help someone else in the future. :-D Dale :-) :-)
