try the above link, as it answers a lot of questions regarding SSD.
Please understand that SSD are primary used in servers and other commercial app.
For a home use PC, it's use may not be that critical.
Seeing as it is treated as a "HD" when in use, I cannot see why it wouldn't partition like a "HD".
Hope this helps.
