Hi,

I have a Dell Latitude laptop. And yesterday I started getting messages from Window that there is something wrong with the hard drive. Sorry don't remember exact message. The computer and the drive are about 4 years old.
So I called Dell and they offered a SSD 1 TB drive to put in place of the existing drive.

My questions are, please:
1. The Dell support person says that since my existing drive is 2.5" and the SSD is 2.5" too, it will fit into the existing slot.
Does this sound right?
2. If I buy SSD drive, can I re-partition it just like I did with the existing conventional drive? To make C:, D:, and E: drives?

TIA
