Does anyone know what size the screw (#1 in the picture) is that secures an SSD in the M2.0 slot on the XPS 8900 mother board?

Two different Dell support people referred me to the correct screw for the XPS8900, which I received, and is confirmed to work.
It is M2x3.5, NOT M2x3. The official Dell part is:
6JPHH1SCREW, M2X3.5, WIFI/SSD/DDPE, DF
(or just part number 6JPHH).

screws have more than 1 spec.
for instance slot screws are usually 6-32 x 1/4 inch
Those I think are 2.0 or 2.5 or 3.0 or 4.0 mm but I don't know the thread pitch.
Then there is the issue of the LENGHTH of the screw.

M2.5x4mm OEM Wafer Head
Machine Screw
Average Overall Length: 4.59mm
Average Head Width: 5.33mm
Average Head Thickness: 0.77
Thread Pitch: 0.45
Drive: Phillips
again this is totally a guess.

I finally found the correct screw!
It's a M2x3 thread pitch is .40

Thanks! I searched around for a month for this answer.
I had found a 0-80 screw that would thread, but ultimately was too long. And the head, too narrow. Big pain!
Thanks again!!
