I used it but it says fine.

Sometimes tools can be misleading.
You can use Crystaldisk to check the health

https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/
Or use Crystaldiskmark run benchmark see whether does the PC restart or hang or not.
As if it does, it mean the SSD have issue.
The main thing is the SSD health but not the error as I google that error.

It seems HDtune can report wrongly with some SSD.
Samsung magician is the most accurate for Samsung SSD so main thing is it's health.

I'm going to retire this old SSD and replacing it with a HP SSD S750 2.5 (512GB) $79.

B3 for Samsung SSDs refers to Used Reserved Block Count Total.

If your SSDs reserved block count is being exhausted due to uneven wear levels, this is a sure sign for pre-mature failure. Remove the SSD as a boot disk and evacuate your data immediately. Further writing may cause the SSD to enter read-only mode and subsequently can become unreadable.

Better ask Samsung what that means.

Maybe it's red because the program thinks it is serious like reserve block count but it's actually nothing important. Wouldn't something like Samsung Utility show you reserve block count anyway?
