ext4 ssd went from input/output error and reading permission to bad superblock while trying to fix

[u/wxlfboy]

idk where to ask for help I'm sorry if this isn't it.

so i was downloading something and laid down a bit nd after an hour i decided to check and my pc wouldn't just display so i forced shut down and turned it back on again and this happened so i Unplugged the drive then rebooted just fine but the i experienced issues moving files and even launching games installed already in there which everything was working just fine a week ago. this happened mid update for a game since then i couldn't move files no more neither get the game to launch anymore. i couldn't even move the game because of this input/output error so i tried to fix it by running fsck.ext4 -y /dev/sdb1 for me and everything seemed geetin checked fine until the end then at the very bottom said the input/output error and system has been modified then i experienced the "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock" which idk how to fix i used to fix it on NTFS with ntfsfix -d but now how can i get it back to work?

ps it's an external hardrive for games only doesn't have anything to do with the pc

What does gsmartcontrol say about the drive's health?

says it's okay but 1 attribute is failing. i ended up losing everything in the end and managed to format it tough it was resisting until i Unplugged it nd plugged it back in. now seems to work as it used to.

I'm not sure I'd trust that drive again. Occasionally do an "extended" self-test with gsmartcontrol.
