I want to get a new mbp that will last me five years. Will a SSD help it last longer. I also want one for the improved performance and less noise. Is it worth it to burn a hole in my wallet for a SSD?

Dear OP
It depends on your use, if you use lots and lots of storage and are a bit tech savvy then you can replace your optical drive with a hard drive, if you are tech savvy and dont require much hard drive space get a 3rd party SSD and finally if you aren't very tech savvy and require space just stay with a HDD. Do bear in mind once you have a SSD you will never want a HDD EVER again. If you really can't afford the SSD then just get a HDD.

Third, i know there are lot of lazy people on this forum however i think threads like this are constructive they give the OP personal experience.
I personally think he's the most helpful person on the forums. He consistently posts relevant information and often goes through the hassle of finding countless links that someone could have found themselves, but he goes out of his way to help. That's a whole lot of copying and pasting...
If you want it to last 5 years, how about purchasing a MacBook Pro with a standard hard drive, and 2.5 years later upgrade it with a SSD?
That way you will feel an immediate speed bump as soon as your computer starts to slow down. And can you imagine how large SSD's will be 2.5 years from now?
Isn't it worth considering the entry SSD - that way the SSD hookups are already built into the laptop.
I know 128GB is not much space but if you could deal with it, say for another 2.5 years, you could be having an SSD experience the entire waiting time.
