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.
This has been my understanding also. NTFS trusts the device to do the reading and writing correctly.
