There are two types - M3, which are black, and 3-32 types, which are natural in colour. The former are for optical drives; the latter for hard drives. They take a flat blade screwdriver, or a T15 driver.
Ah, yes! My drive already had them fitted so I didn't need to bother.
To save any confusion, note that these screws do not actually hold anything together - the heads simply locate in slots in the drive bay and the green clip at the rear automatically clicks into place when the drive is correctly located.
