thanks for the offer.

I really love it though when people are willing to try to do it themselves. More than happy to help you get it done in any way I can from here though.

As far as the sata III yup that will ensure good data transfer speeds from the SSD.

You can do it and when it is done you will be pleased with yourself and a lot less intimidated by future problems.

Worst case cenario you purchase that drive and completely fail that drive would also be an upgrade for the dell you were looking at.

I am pretty confident that as long as your old machine still boots you can pull this repair off.
