I did that but I get: 

$ sudo echo '"Samsung SSD 860 EVO M.2" 190 C "Samsung SSD 860 EVO M.2"' >> /etc/hddtemp.db
bash: /etc/hddtemp.db: Permission denied

any suggestions?

Did all from: SSD temperature sensor readout with hddtemp

From:

NVMe PCIe M.2 Gen 3.0 x 4 (or 2) SSD

If you have an SSD they're life span is measured in trillions of writes. Your SMART utility already measures SSD life but not for NVMe SSDs. For that you need nvme-cli. To install it use:

sudo apt install nvme-cli

Next gather information available from SSD:

$ sudo nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0
Smart Log for NVME device:nvme0 namespace-id:ffffffff
critical_warning                    : 0

Temperature Sensor 7                : 0 C
Temperature Sensor 8                : 0 C

The most important field is Percentage used which shows as 0%. This isn't disk usage percent but life used percent. I've had this drive since October 2017 and now it's December 2018. As soon as Percentage used hits 1% I can multiply the number of months I've owned it by 100 to find out when it will die. At the current rate I can say the drive will live 100+ years. Of course it will be obsolete in ten years anyway.

Notice the temperature report.
