Here is the word from Seagate about screws: Four (4) 6-32 UNC-2A screws are required for installation. Maximum screw length into side of drive is 0.15 inches (3.81 mm). Maximum screw length into bottom is 0.20 in. (5.08 mm). Screw tightening torques is 8.0 lb-in (.90 NM) max with minimum thread engagement of 0.12 in (3.00 mm). carl -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego clowenst@ucsd.edu |
