This series only has a single drive (HDD or SSD). Toshiba had two versions of the logic board the older system has a 2.5" SATA drive and the newer model a mSATA SSD (which is what yours has).

As your system is overheating check the fan and vent holes in the case for dust build up a soft paintbrush and a can of can'ed air should take care of this. If the system looks clean or still is running hot ($@$*!&%& down) then you may need to redo the thermal paste and/or the heat pipe may need replacing.

You'll need an adapter or case like this one: ORICO Aluminum mSATA to USB3.0 SSD Enclosure Adapter Case, Built-in ASM1153E Controller - Silver (MSA-UC3)
