Torx 6 or 8??

What size torx screwdriver to I need to use when replacing my MacBook's hard drive? I've heard 6 and I've heard 8.

Thanks guys.

Maybe Home Depot or Lowes. Also try Radio Shack. Possibly even SEARS.

Any of those... but you might consider a small set, with varied sizes. Get it with a small enough one, and you can even take apart the old drive.

I have this one that I bought awhile back from Sears, but I cannot find it online. This set has T5, T6, T7, T8, T10, T15, and three small Phillips and slotted screw.

Here is something similar:

For a RatShack set, this one seems pretty good. I've taken apart many things with it:

I picked up one like that from Orchard Supply for about $5. Just about any decent hardware store will have single Torx drivers.
