Hello guys hope you can help me out on this.

I have the following system

FX 8320e
GA-FX990-ud5 R5 motherboard
gtx 1060
Corsair CX600M PSU
400 GB SSD
320 GB HDD
a constantly plugged external HDD 3.0 USB ADATA NH03 <<--- this is the one giving me issues

I recently changed my motherboard, i used to have a gigabyte 970a-ds3p motherboard, decided to do the change so i can overclock my 8320e. So the thing is that I did a backup of my personal files (Work documents, family pictures and videos) on the NH03, wich was working perfectly before the motherboard upgrade, so after the upgrade did a windows 10 clean install and when i tried to retrieve the files i had backed up it didn't let me do it.

The pc recognizes the NH03 and i can see all the files and folders (even tho it takes a noticeable longer time to open folders and navigate than it used it to). But when i try to copy them to either de SSD or the 320GB HDD it starts the process but before finishing an error box appears saying the the file cannot be read. When i try to open the files directly from the HDD, some will open, say a picture for example it does open it, but takes like 30 seconds to do so. But some folders won't and it shows a data error (cyclic redundancy check) box. I tried using CHKDSK
And when running the scan it said that the scan couldn't be completed. When checking the detail option it said somehting about being an issue with the thumbnail preview or something like that (my windws 10 copy is in Spanish, so i don't know if the translation is literal or not).

So what else can i do? any ideas? i know i can contact a data recovery service, but that would be a last resort option. If i can recover the data myself would be much better,

Thank you in advance for your help.

As you can see it yourself, your disk is seriously damaged (did you drop it?):
Relocated sectors 6696
Pending sectors 21696
and it has been overheated.

If your data is important and you want to recover, then contact professional recovery services.
But if you can afford to loose it and want to try recovery yourself, then you can try mhdd (scan/relocate).
