Couldn't find any countersunk at home. I would go with that Bolts Plus deal myself or see if anyone else has them of course before hand. I had an old M2 years ago, I don't recall ever 'needing' the screws on those 2.5" HDD sleds. Does the M4 require them or its flopping around kind of thing?

Oh you 100% need to screw them in. They're not friction fit. Plus modern 2.5" drives are massively thinner than the old 15K or 10K SAS drives that would have been installed originally.

 

I ordered the Bolts Plus screws earlier today, so hopefully they come in by Friday so I can get started on installing the Hypervisor this weekend.
