In short: Aggressive overprovisioning.

Enterprise SSDs are not expensive only because they have better flash chips, but they have much more of them.

A top of the line write oriented SSD comes with 4-7x more capacity than what it says on the tin, but that extra capacity is used for cell replacement rather than capacity itself.

Mixed use comes with 2-4x overprovisioning, and read oriented is around 2x IIRC.
