Samsung SSD 2.5 EVO 970 Raw Corruption from NTFS [Ddrescue]

   Hello,

   I am interested in your program Ddrescue as it may prove to be useful
   for my scnario. I have written up details of my problem and posted them
   here
   ([1]https://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/202207-samsung-ssd-2-5-e
   vo-970-raw-corruption-ntfs.html#post2508531).

   SSD Specifications:
   Samsung 2.5" EVO 970 1TB
   Partition 1 on letter X:\ with 512,001 MB as NTFS on MBR. Formatted
   with 4096 cluster size. Approximately, 280 GB was used and written to.
   Note that this SSD has no physical damage and is in excellent health.
   Samsung software disk quality checks, firmware updates and full format
   were ran before putting into use.
   Scenario:
   Running robocopy.exe from the SSD to cloud storage overnight. Awoken in
   morning to find SSD in 'corrupt' state and unable to access data via
   Windows Explorer. USB C ports were intact, no removal of wires or loss
   of power and unknown why this has occurred.

   May I kindly request for urgent assistance in my matter. I'm attempting
   to clone the SSD that may contain bad sectors before attempting to
   repair.

   Kind regards,
   Roger
