Yo!

MacBook Pro 13" with a 128GB SSD here. I also use FileVault 2. Everything is all gravy and I love the security it provides (just make sure the system is powered down when not in use or in a secure environment). 

Go for it dude. SSDs are the future - none of this garlic bread business.

However I read that with the new version of OS X there is now Full Disk Encryption. Question is, does the fact that I will be using FDE affect the working life of the drive ? I am not really that up on flash memory.
