You do not want to use an SSD/NAND for carts/long term storage.
You want to use ROM.

They don't "burn" discs in a factory. They actually "stamp" discs instead, that allows for hundreds of thousands of disks to be created in quick succession at a low cost.
Where-as burning a disc requires discs with special chemicals/composition layers and takes "time" to add the data to the disc itself.
Plus those discs can and will degrade faster than a stamped disc.
