Pumpkin vodka is not the first thing I would reach for , but how was it ? That might go well in a Ginger Martini with Domaine de Canton French ginger liqueur . <| sep |> It is just an external cable that has a SATA connector on one end , that connects to the HDD , and a PCIe or proprietary connector on the other end , that connects to the laptop . You can order the cable separately any time you like and install your HDD . Since you mentioned that you wanted a hassle free experience , I thought you should know now that you can ' t just open up the back cover and plug in a HDD as you do in almost all laptops because the P 50 doesn ' t have a SATA connector . Also , you should know that the P 50 only accepts 7 . 2 mm thick hard drives . Most 1 TB HDDs are 9 mm thick .
