But SSDs (to my knowledge) only implement checksum for the data transfer. Its a requirement of the protocol. So you can be sure that the Stuff in memory and checksum computed by the CPU arrives exactly like that in the SSD driver. In the past this was a common error source with hardware raid which was faulty.

But there is ABSOLUTELY NO checksum for the bits stored on a SSD. So bit rot at the cells of the SSDs are undetected.
