Which screws are needed, M3 4.5mm or M3 6mm? Or doesn't it matter?

To avoid damaging the inner shell of the drive, I advise using the 4.5mm screws. I hope that helps x

Does this drive use cmr or smr technology?

Only 1TB and 500GB versions use CMR rest is SMR

Is the hdd loud when gaming?

No its not loud but does have a sound when loading etc it's a very manageable noise

Does any know if this drive is suitable for dell's 8940 desktop with a m.2 pcie nvme primary solid state drive

As long as there is an available SATA port on the motherboard, yes. You should always have a large capacity backup/storage drive.
