No, even drives written once have started showing a rise in (correctable) errors after 2 years: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43739028

That's a slight rise in ECC which is entirely expected. Flash storage can be expected to rely on error correction as part of normal functioning; it's not an abnormal condition.
Bit errors occurring after only 2 years, on flash that has been written to once, is not good at all.
