    Hi.
    Im looking into a new laptop and a toshiba p50-b is one of them, but i noticed it only lets us change the ram and to do a hdd upgrade we need to open the laptop. I wanted to place my hdd in a caddy and connect it to the laptop using the dvd drive connector to use a ssd+hdd combo.
    The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a lot of info or videos on it and while the hdd seems easy enough to remove and replace, the dvd drive im not sure. Anyone attempted this that can give some feedback?

    Also, for those that have this laptop, does it heat up a lot during "regular" use (not gamming, just web browsing, video)? Any complaints on the laptop or anything i should look out for?

    Thank you!
