Do you have a reference for that? I don't think NTFS does checksums on files. The only filesystems I can think of that do checksums are ZFS, btrfs, and NILFS.

Were you referring to internal checksums done by the SSD, with the SSD returning a read error if they do not match? I think those can only detect a certain number of errors per block. If there were too many errors, it is possible that the internal checksums can miss it. The whole silent data corruption issue.
