Same here.  I have several devices that I use every day
including two laptops.  I bought SSDs for them for the
speed and to extend battery life.  I would never go back,
even if I had to buy a new SSD occasionally.  The cool
thing is that I have had no issues with the drives.

Granted I do use the noatime option and I have plenty of
ram.  These two things drastically reduce the stress on
an SSD.
