If you can send the info to troy@flagshiptech.com he can tell you the value in
$US.  The tray you are talking about is a memory carrier.  It is faster with two
memory carriers.  The model number is inside of the door on a label.  If you can
provide the model number on the memory troy can tell you the size.  You can call
troy at 7705698188.  Let him know rob sent you his way.
