>I would love to see how this stacks up to enterprise SSDs.

the difference is number of writes an individual flash cell can take. Consumer - multi-level cell (MLC) - 1000-3000 writes (thus 240GB disks start to fail around 600-700TB written) where is enterprise SSD flash - single-level cell (SLC) - up to 100000 writes.

I'm talking eMLC. I don't see many SLCs on the market anymore.
