Dec 22, 2022 at 16:52 comment added Joep van Steen @nathan; consider sending the hard drive to a lab for 2nd opinion. If drive wasn't opened before, diagnostic is often free of charge. if the drive is recoverable most likely it will be cheaper than the SSD even of it requires clean room work.
Dec 21, 2022 at 21:59 comment added Joep van Steen @Nathan; At first glance it seems to be you're dealing with a firmware issue, this may be result of degrading NAND but also something like unclean shutdown or even cosmic radiation. There's isn't anything to open up with this SSD. But be ready for the fact that I guess 70% of SSD cases is unrecoverable (I don't have hard data to back this up).
Dec 21, 2022 at 21:40 comment added Nathan This answer is very important to me, because when I was trying to recover the broken HDD multiple recovery firms told me that they weren't equipped to open or examine physical damage to the drive, so their plan was to just plug it into various different machines (like I had already done). So I realized that if they didn't tell me that, then they were about to waste my time.
