What kind of Torx screws are in this Mac mini?

I can't tell what kind of Torx screws are present here, or what tools I'll need to open it! I want to replace the hard drive with something speedier, you see!

Thanks!

The teardown says only T8 and T6's, I believe you'll only need a T8 for the HDD, and the T6s are on the logic board.

This is recalling from memory...

The antenna needed T8, fan T6. I did not need any other size. All I replaced was the Hard Drive, and I did not remove the logic board.

Pay attention to the secret holes for the magic tool, one of my torx drivers had a shaft too large for the hole.
