Possibly faulty m.2

Hello I recently had a friend whos lenovo think station e32 wasn't booting and so I got his files of the drive and that was all he cared about. He said I could have the computer and that he would be getting a new one. I don't have an m.2 nvme drive in my computer so I thought I would swap the ssds and use the m.2 in my computer. The computer of my friends (after i put it all back together and recovering his files) booted up and then had a blue screen of death and the error i think had something to do with the drive so i rebooted it and it booted up and said it was repairing the drive and then booted in just fine. My friend still doesn't want it even though it works so I thought I could swap the drives but can I trust the drive if it may have been the cause of the other computers failure to boot.

If you think the drive might be going bad you can still use it for stuff that won't cause any problems if it gets nuked, like as a game drive or something. If it works for years that's great, and if it breaks for good in 2 months you won't suddenly be missing your tax returns.

That’s true but the idea is to have my is on the drive to have faster boot times and also a couple games but I’d rather not have a drive that could die at any moment which I guess is the case with basically all drives running my os
