Are you trying to recover the data or just "fix" the drive? Can you see the files that I assume you are looking for by running the demo of R-Studio?

We frequently get SSD drives in for data recovery that just have bad sectors. It might not hurt to get a full sector-by-sector clone of the drive. Although it isn't my top pick for copying a drive, you can image the drive with the R-Studio demo, without paying for it. You can also check the SMART parameters of the drive with that program too.

I am trying to recover the data. Yes, i saw the files i was looking for using R-Studio, but it seems demo version can't recover exFAT files beyond 256kb file size.

It is just a demo. You'd need the paid version to copy the files out, no matter what the file system is. Now that you know that they are there, you can pay for R-Studio or try to see if a free/cheaper program might see the files too.
