It is definitely not the temperature. I don't understand why the Health Status show bad when none of the SMART parameters show red. Also a SSD might show Bad if the writes had exceeded the limit set by the manufacturer. The status show the drive has been barely used.
You might to download a trial version of Hard Disk Sentinel which will give more information.

Hard Disk Sentinel also states the drive is PERFECT so the acid test will be what life it now has. Scepticism about SSDs costing so little is entirely understandable but I just want to get another couple of years use out of this 9yr old Win 10 box. If the drive lasts that long it will have been a good choice, we shall see. Macrium Reflect made light work of of all this btw, system running just as sweetly as ever it did.

It's difficult to find the specs for these less well known brands. But what I can find out about the Bliksem 128GB SSD is that it uses 3D NAND TLC technology, that's the same as Samsung uses for their EVO SATA SSDs. Typical endurance specs for a 128GB TLC SSD are up to 75 terabytes written (TBW).
