The enterprise stuff is almost always longer lasting, but the only one that truly lasts is (was?) optane. You shouldn't trust an ssd long term, especially modern ones. I've probably seen 100 drive failures in total (hdd and ssd) and covid era ssds are garbage for longevity. The big downside of enterprise ssds (besides price) is performance. You can literally double your speed by buying consumer grade (and it's roughly the same price to buy 2 drives for every 1 enterprise grade).
Consumer grade drives have some fast cache in front of them and while initially crazy fast can't do sustained writes without allowing down.
