I suggest trying the Toshiba HDD recovery utility at the EaseUS web page at the hyperlink below.

Toshiba is the only hard drive manufacturer I have ever known to provide links to third party data recovery from their disks on their company web page.

I suggest trying to recover your data and going with a different brand. SSD products are much more reliable than legacy HDD products.
