Anyone know how these compare to the corsair 1tb mp600?

Identical. Same speeds, endurance, warranty, etc. Probably the exact same nand though unspecified.

I’m super happy with my Corsair FWIW

It is likely SLC will never exist in this form factor and even MLC is getting rare in general.

Yeah, it’s significantly more expensive so only the commercial market values the reliability gains enough. Even then MLC, TLC get more reliable over time too.

If any of y'all can still find a better deal on an SN740, go for that. It appears to me that the SN740 is an OEM version of the SN770. I recently swapped the 500gb SN740 on my laptop for a 1TB SN770, and the traces, flash, controller, etc were all the same, minus the storage difference.
