What's the go to app for checking SSD health these days?

I've got a 1TB MX300 drive that says it's 100% healthy in CrystalDisk, but when I go to SSDLife it doesn't detect the drive properly (model doesn't provide detailed wear out info) and says the drive is bad.

Which one should I believe?
 
Crucial do their own utility called Storage executive. You can use it to check drive Heath and update firmware. It's the Crucial equivalent to Samsung magician.

Cheers, Storage Executive came back healthy as well - updated the firmware while I was at it too. Also did a thorough sector scan of the drive using HD Tune and that came back all good as well.
