2.5 HD screw size?

does anyone know the general screw name/size for fixing 2.5 Harddrives?

I am trying to fit 2 to the side panel of my Bitfenix prodigy and none of the screws that i have work well.

the ones they state appear to be too long for fixing the drives to the side panel

I've always just used floppy drive/CD Rom sized screws without issue.

If the screws provided are just a little too long you could always add a washer or two. I have not experienced this problem myself and have fitted a fair number of SSDs.

okay sorted this out of all the screws provided by Bitfenix the mobo ones fitted the best the trouble was they were not long enough as the heads of the screws were bigger then the counter sync holes on the black plastic bracket, so i unscrewed the bracket and used a Lolly stick to push the drives against the screws, and it worked.
