You're comparing TLC drives to MLC drives, of course the MLC ones will cost more, you get what you pay for.
The MX500 and the EVO are both TLC, and the M2 drives are different but command a smaller price gap, apparently.
So, no. The numbers don't support your statement. Bottom line: you're paying for Sammy's good brand image.
I'm also missing the actual test data of how Sammy's drives have higher durability. They can say its 150 TBW versus 100 TBW on the MX500, but MTBF on the MX500 is still higher. Its a coin toss, pick a number and you have your number one drive? Only time will tell.
