Re:Why SSD Drives Destroy Court Evidence, and What Can Be Do... by kabdib on Thursday June 19, 2014 @09:49PM (#7919173)
Didn't mention read disturbance. MLC and TLC flash (esp. the latter) have semi-destructive reads, so that you need to re-write a block after several thousand reads as well as on any write.

So you can't treat a drive as a ROM, even if you disabled physical writes somehow. Of course, you probably have enough read cycles available to do quite a few full scans of a drive...
