I would also recommend this for anyone who's overly concerned with not losing data, or who does not have a secondary drive for storage.
Personally I have nothing saved on the SSD that I need to keep. If it dies, I just replace and reload the OS fresh (which is why I have them striped rather than mirrored). I do that every 3 months anyway so it's not really a big deal in my case.
