Given the capacity, I would be surprised if it wasn't single-level cell NAND (larger write capacity) or redundant. From articles I could find, it was installed in the JWST in 2012[1] and developed by a company called SEAKR which produces "Solid State Recorders"[2]. Certainly doesn't look like any commercial server storage I've seen.

I imagine the contracts could be FOIAed here and specs like anticipated write capacity obtained, would be very interesting to learn about radiation hardening and redundancy for SSDs - err, solid state recorders - in space.
