Assuming that hardware engineers know what they are doing, yes.
Unfortunately the hardware people seem to be just as clueless about
this as the every device driver writer, which actually makes this much
worse. Having bad wear leveling in hardware often means that the
card eats your data, no matter what the driver does. Doing it in software
means that it's broken most of the time but fixable.
