How could they possibly do it? Do you think they have a WiFi embedded?
Do you think they won't? Do you have a way to prove there's no secret
wifi circuitry in your SSDs?
Remember, that even simple HDD controller is a multi-purpose CPU
which can run any code – http://spritesmods.com/?art=hddhack&page=3
The controllers in SSD are multi-core ARM and MIPS chips, much more
powerful; and for wifi connectivity all you need is 1cm long track
on circutboard, which could be buried in some inside layer of board.
