In my understanding, I'd just buy something like a Samsung SSD 840 Pro (for not using TLC) and do a overprovisioning of about 60% of the capacity. With the 512GiB-Variant, I'd end up with 200GiB netto. By this way, I have no issues with TRIM or GC (there are always enough empty cells) and wear leveling is also a non-issue (at least right now...). It's a lot cheaper than the "Enterprise Grade SSDs", which are still basically MLC-SSDs and are also doing just the same as we are. And for the price of those golden SSDs I get about 7 or 8 of the "Consumer SSD", so I just swap those out, whenever I feel like it. Or smart tells me to do so.
