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.
