Your local hardware store 😕 If I'm not mistaken it's a standard torx screw...

I bought one of these from Maplins when I swapped the hard drive in my MBP.

"Torx" not "torch." You need a T6, I believe.

Personally I found the T6 too large, think I used a T5 instead. Regardless, you may as well buy a full set of Torx screwdrivers, it isn't going to cost much more than a single one.

I paid £6 for a T4-T10, T15, T20 set from my local hardware store.

You'll need Phillips 00 and Torx t6 to remove the drive.

If you have upgraded your firmware you might want to read this before you install a new drive.
