How do you fix a very slow harddrive that is slowing down the computer?

Hello.

My 2 tb harddrive stopped working a while ago. I have some photos and videos on it that i would like to recover (and fix the harddrive itself if possible). When it first started to get slow, i had to take it out of my computer, since it was slowing the pc down. The pc also took ages to turn on when the harddrive was in the computer. I have tried to hook it up in a harddrive dock (usb3) and it has worked sometimes. One day i managed to move around 300 gb over to my pc. But most of the times, it just slows down the whole computer. Is there any way i can recover the data on the harddrive and/or fix the harddrive?

Thanks in advance for anwsers :)
