Is there any hope for this dead SSD?

It's a 500gb SATA SSD, not sure why it shows up as 20mb. Is it worth getting a SATA to USB adapter to see if I can use Recuva to recover what's in it?

I had this SSD connected for a few months but never actually used it. I tried to move 20 gb of data (most of which is not important) from a different disk to clear up space in my boot disk. The transfer stopped midway and the disk stopped responding. I was able to access the drive for a bit but it kept responding for a min before it stopped a few times. I switched the sata cable, the power cable, port on the board, none of which worked, so I figuired the issue is internal to the drive. I tried running chkdsk but it did not work as it kept saying that it was a raw drive even though it showed up as ntfs in disk management.

I finally gave up and tried quick formatting the drive in the hope of recovering what's on it. The format did not go through as it said the drive was in use, but once I rebooted after that, the disk stopped showing up in windows and now disk management indicates I probably bricked it.

Is there any hope to recover what's on it. The data on it is primarily copies of everything. I don't have a backup but I have to go through the lengthy process of scanning everything and backing it up again which I want to avoid as much as I can, if at all possible.
