True enterprise SSD's come with a single level cell (SLC) which will provide longer life. They also come with better controllers, and are sas capable. In my opinion anything not SLC should not be labeled Enterprise. Non enterprise use multi level cells(MLC) (or triple level cells). This allows them to be built cheaper with higher capacity. Down side to MLC or TLC is a shorter lifespan. They also come with cheaper controllers. (like the drive mentioned in the link) My main point here is that there really is a difference between enterprise & non-enterprise. Be careful. There is a valid reason why one ssd is 99.00 while another of the same capacity is 999.00.
