Works on SSD?
Got one that's in a solid state alright, it's brick like.

Get hold of a copy of Spinrite and have at it with that, perhaps?

Seriously, I feel your pain. I nearly totaled ten terabytes of my data when I tried moving my NAS half an inch to the left while it was in the middle of a write and the perishing power cable popped out of the back!!
I thought modern disks had an automatic harmless head retract in the event of sudden power loss, but not these effing things. Two were trashed, but mercifully the NAS was using a non-zero RAID level which just allowed me to recover all the data after replacing those disks.
Can you even buy that tulip?

Another vote for Cobian - superb free software and backs up open PST files too which has stuffed me up on occasions before. I like the facility to do rolling backups as well.

Try the freezer trick again, leave it it for about a week until it's frozen solid. Might work. If not, and if click of death, move on.
Just FYI, not because I'm smug, I use SSDs in my machines, BackBlaze, Drop Box, Google Drive and a local NAS. I'm sure if something crashes, there'll still be something I forgot to back up :-(
