Hello,

I have had very good luck with Samsung EVO 250 and 500 SSD drives. Samsung includes software to clone the drive.

>Currently I have 500 GB conventional drive and it is not full. The replacement is prompted by these messages from Windows that the drive is having a problem. But I figured, if I am to replace it, might as well get a bigger drive and maybe SSD.

>>Yes. If you curently have 1TB HD or very near tha size and the disk is nearly full, you might think about replacing DVD with new traditional HD and keep seldom used stuff and "quick safeties" there. DVD so seldom used that USB is good enough here...

>>>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
