The issues in the 2012 N7 are related to the flash memory used. As this device doesn't specify I think that's an unfair pre-judgment.

The actual flash memory device is flawed?

Yeah, supposedly there is something wrong with the flash controller. It doesn't do a good job of wear leveling, or has a buggy/slow implementation of garbage collection, or something in that vein.
