    I'm thinking of buying a 15z, but I have a question. Has anyone tried to take out the ODD and put in an HDD. If I get this laptop, I will have money left over to buy an SSD, and, I would love to have the HDD and SSD in the laptop. So, is it possible?

    Don't bother paying the extra for newmodus, just by a cheap 9.5mm caddy from eBay like I did, standard size all will fit

    Thanks! From the pics, I thought that the ODD was un-removeable. If I get one, I'll probobly put an OCZ Vertex 3 in the main slot and the HDD in the caddy.
