what brand hdd do you have?

Certain companies have software to test their drives

Western Digital: Data Life guard for windows
Seagate: Seatools for windows

Others have tools as well, those are just the main two. If you have another drive type, you can test drive using HDTune and look on the health tab and allow it to run a SMART scan

just to get a 2nd opinion

Samsung 1Tb SSD. Samsung don't have a means of testing their SSDs. I ran HDTune. It says that the airflow temperature is too high and that I should replace the HD. It is only 2 weeks old. Now I am confused.
Thanks for your help.

samsung magician software can be used to test ssd: https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/magician/
also can check SMART score and be used to update firmware.

what temps you got in Case? Max ssd temp is like 70C, I would be concerned if it is that inside case: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/84870/ssd-max-temps

Airflow Temperature: Current 61 C. Worst: 44; Threshold: 45; Data: 39.

Sounds like you need to work on cooling in that case, clean fans and or filters, or improve its airflow somehow. Don't need to kill ssd by heat death.
