No longer do drywall installers use drywall nails: specialized screws are the drywall fastener of choice today.
Drywall screws come in either coarse-thread or fine-thread varieties. Coarse-thread screws draw effortlessly into the wood, and in fact are so useful that you will find yourself using them for other home improvement projects.

The only thing I do not like about coarse thread screws is that they have metal burrs which eventually embed in your fingers and are impossible to remove, even with tweezers. Since you cannot do drywall work with gloves, there is little alternative but to accept becoming a human pincushion. The 5/8 inch screw tends to be the most practical length for all drywall projects. Fine thread screws are used for metal framing; coarse thread for wood studs.
