My R440s had the blue loctite on the screws for the SAS HDDs. But they were screwed so tight, ended up stripping a few screws. Maybe someone just used regular loctite by mistake?
I've definite seen loctite and very tightly screwed screws, but never glued in. I checked a few more servers randomly and didn't find any glued, including 2.5 and 3.5, SAS, NVME and SATA.
EDIT - these are on Dell 14th and 15th generation servers.

I want to say its a one off accident but I've seen loctited drive screws on servers more than once...
And it was from a white box manufacturer I can't mention

I added context - this was for Dell 14th and 15th generation servers sourced through Dell direct.
Certainly have seen some funky stuff vis-a-vis HDD screws from white box manufactures, but never Dell, thought my sample set is admittedly somewhat small.
