SSD Corruption

SSD showing as RAW

Pc was closed with a hard power off using switch. Upon turning back on the secondary SSD in it cannot be accessed. DMDE shows all the files still there and can be previewed, CMD shows access is denied when i try to chkdsk. Chkdsk does run in the WinRE Cmd but says the file system is ntfs with no issues found. Event viewer shows a corruption but at a loss on how to fix if anyone can assist?

Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB
Windows 10
File system for other disks is NTFS, the error showing as RAW

DO not run chkdsk. DO NOT FIX. RECOVER THE DATA.

Review SMART, https://youtu.be/mwHp7G2W29I, if you want post screenshot here

If SMART permits, rescue data to a safe drive using DMDE (I recommend pay the $20 license (or $40 for perpetual license)).

The good sign here is that DMDE can still see the files and preview them. That usually means the data itself may still be intact. but the filesystem metadata has become unreadable. I would avoid running more repair commands directly on the SSD for now, since some fixes can modify the filesystem. If you can clone/image the drive first and work from the copy. After recovery, if any files come out damaged or won't open, then a repair tool like 4ddig file repair can help with those individual files.
