Can’t find screw bit for External HD

Can’t figure out the screw bit needed for this and that’s after going through my bits in my pro tech tool kit.

That looks like a Torx TR6, TR8 or TR10 screw. There are two versions of Torx these with a pin in the middle is the security version (TR)

By chance is this a five lobe screw? Your image is not very clear, then that would be a 5-Point Tamper Resistant Star Bit

So since that’s a five ‘star’ what’s the exact bit name I would need?

@gingersenpai

See the link regarding the 5 point tamper resistant star bit in the above answer
