The 2.5" bay on my case requires mounting screws. (Not sure why they didn't include it in the package with the SSD) Can somebody please link me where I can get the correct size screws to mount the Samsung 840 EVO?
run to your local hardware store and pick up some #6-32 x 1/4" Long Screws, if you don't want to do that then google "hard drive screws" and a list of places will show up where to get them online
Any local shop should also have them and might even give them to you free. (or for little money.)
True that. My credit card got declined because I was making lots of computer part purchases and my bank thought my card was stolen. The payment for the screws was declined on paypal (I didn't get charged in my bank statement) and they shipped it anyways even with a notification that the payment was declined. Lol

The drive uses screws that fit the screw whole that is M3x0.5P THD Depth 3.5mm Min
Yeah. I went to the hardware store and tried both 6-32 1/4 screws (not even close) but the M3 screws are a perfect match for SSDs. I got a weird M3 screw with an Allen key head but whatever. It's tight in the mounting bay and that's all that matters. The guy at the hardware store even tightened it for me because it has a special head that I've never seen before.
