Tools for Installing M.2 2280 SSD in XPS 8960
I have an M.2 2280 SSD I want to install in the secondary drive slot of my XPS 8960
1. What type of screw do I need?
2. What type of screwdriver do I need
Note: I saw on Youtube the screws from an old 3.5 inch SATA HD can fill in just fine. Can anyone confirm if that's true?
any info would be much appreciated

The Phillips screwdriver size is based on the size at the tip.
PH1: 0.071 inches, PH0: 0.055 inches
PZ for Pozidriv screwdriver

from 8960 screw list
You will want a screwdriver set that includes PH1, PH0 at least, and preferably the PZ equivalents

@redxps630 Thank you for your answer
Can you clarify what a PH1, PH0 and "PZ equivalents" are?
