   And hopefully the fan will not need to kick in as often.  And.. you will be   
   able to run longer on battery power.  The best I can get with my 3rd-party   
   replacement battery for my T60 is 3.5 hours. :(   
      
   So, a SDD has many added bonuses for sure!   
      
   But I just realized that if I were to switch to SDD, I might run into a snag   
   since my 235gb hdd came partitioned like so: C=35gb H=200gb   
      
   How would I be able to reconstitute my existing setup to a larger SDD while   
   still retaining the content on C and H?   
      
   C and H partitioning was not my choice. The laptop was 2nd hand and arrived   
   that way.
