[Chester LUG] A question re FDE

[Michael Crilly]

I would go for a 256GB as they're the same price now as I paid for the 128GB back about 6-7 months ago :-)

I find 128GB perfect as I don't really download that much and I'm planning some network storage anyway. 

Sadly for me the SSD in my Mac is SATA3 but the bus is SATA2, so I don't benefit as much as I could from the speed, but in a laptop it's super quiet and vibration free, not to mention lighter.

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.
