I came back to my 16 tb drive and the terminal started puking out lots of write errors, dead sectors but I don't want it to die, smart says it got cancer

I dropped my unscrewed thinkpad and broke off some inductive part a month ago and I can't solder it back in so I got a new one until I figure out how to do it without frying all the silicon, such a sad loss

And now my beloved drive is leaving me for our Father!? No no no
I will investigate! But first I must back up lolis if it suddenly b0rkz

If it breaks completely I will feed it firecracker pills for good health and amusement of heyurizens
I hope it doesn't though, do you have dead sector drives that lived long after getting diagnosed with HDD AIDS?
