M.2 PCIe SSD for Asus Prime Z270-A Motherboard

[Falcon82One]

Hey All,

I am looking to build a PC with decent specs and found this deal on eBay for Asus Prime Z270-A Motherboard. I configured my system with following:

CPU: Intel Core i7-7700 3.6 GHz BXC80677I77700
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-7700-Desktop-Processor-Cores/dp/B01N0L41N7

Memory: Corsair 32GB CMD32GX4M4A2666C16

Hard Drive: Seagate 6TB ST6000NM0024
https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-ST6000NM0024-Enterprise-Capacity-Internal/dp/B00TYKCBWC

Now for the SSD part I want to use the empty M.2 socket and for that I figured two very identical models but can’t seem to make my mind which one to go for

A. Samsung MZ-V6P512BW
https://www.ebay.com/p/8026514309

B. Intel SSDPEKKW512G7
https://www.servers4less.com/storage/ssd/intel-ssdpekkw512g7

Both are 512GB PCI Express M.2 except only difference that I could see Samsung is MLC while Intel is TLC.
I need to know how big that difference is. Which one is more suitable for my system configuration?

Also I checked the price for these two and found Samsung is selling at almost $100 higher than Intel, is it because of the obvious MLC and TLC difference?
