ReadyNAS RR2304 Replacement Caddy Screws

Does anybody know the spec for the ReadyNAS 2305 caddy hard drive mounting screws? Here is a link to the 2304 page: https://www.netgear.com/business/products/storage/readynas/RR2304.aspx#tab-techspecs

 

I misplaced the screws that came with the unit. I've found 6-32 x 6mm flat head screws, but I'm concerned that these will be too long. On searches here I did find that some ReadyNAS caddies use 6-32 x 4mm screws.

 

If these require the 4mm screws then does anybody know a supplier? I'm unable to locate on eBay and Amazon. Is there perhaps a Netgear part number I can look for?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

      Supermicro screws, available on Amazon, work great.  Just be sure to get the ones you need (3.5" or 2.5" drive).  They've worked for me for every ReadyNAS, desktop or rack mount, legacy or current.  I've never had a 2304, but the 4220 uses the same caddies, and they work with them.

        Thanks - Ordered and will arrive next weekish. Until then a few of my caddies are minus a few screws. I'll confirm before marking this solved, but pretty sure this is it.
