Oh then you’re cooked. Those are 100% scam drives.

There is some software you can get to check for bad blocks and then mark them do not write. This will allow you to salvage as much of the drive as possible. I recently got a dead 4tb drive fully restored and working. I hope you are as lucky!
It is. The SSDs have two methods of managing this. The first is to simply skip the bad block. The second is to replace the badblock address with a good block from the SSDs reserve block storage. This is all done by the SMART controller in the SSD.
