The drive is good. SSD drives don't have all the mechanical parts that an HDD drive has. When they fail, they go *poof" with no warning.
What you really, really want to do is make regularly scheduled image backups to an external drive that is turned off after completing each backup. Then you are really protected in the event of a drive failure or virus/malware attack, including the infamous encryption viruses that are common now.

Using Crystal Disk Info...you would not be concerned with all items reflecting blue. Any potential/actual troublespots would be reflected as red.

And after all that solid advice, I'll just add...often, SMART data does not predict drive failure with much accuracy. So definitely have plenty of backups.
