"The only increase is during the initial encryption, when PGP rewrites
the entire disk to an encrypted state. After that, however, PGP simply
intercepts the disk interrupt and encrypts data before it is written
to disk. So besides the initial encryption, PGP does not cause any
"extra" disk activity."

     "Nonetheless, if you=92re using an SSD, it=92s writing all of memory
out every time you close the lid on your laptop. With WDE, you are
not. Therefore there=92s less wear on your disk. (By the way, there are
other ways to disable hibernation =97 I once saw a control panel to do
it. I don=92t meant to imply that this is the only way, just that if you
install WDE and do nothing else, you will lower the wear on your
SSD.)"
