Replacement Screws
Hi, I just went to add a 3rd disk to my NV+ (it came with 2) and realised I don't have any screws... I had assumed they'd be clipped/screwed into the empty trays - perhaps nice for future versions?...

For a temporary fix you can "borrow" some of the screws holding the side panels on as well as two screws from each of the existing trays. All of the screws in the chassis are the same as the drive screws with the sole exception being the four holding the fan in place.
Note: yours came with factory drives and there have been numerous comments that they seem to have been put in with a torque wrench. It will take a good amount of downward pressure with a correct sized screwdriver (either a #0 or #1 Phillips at most) to remove. Once of the Jedi commented once that they only use two screws per drive in a diagonal pattern in the lab. But, they are also testing the drives so they get swapped around a lot, and two screws go in and out faster than four.
