Is the OCZ Vector 180 dead?

Hello
OCZ Vector 180 (sent by RMA in 2015)
Yesterday I fell asleep for the last time, but didn't wake up in the morning.
SMART Status BAD, Backup and Replace
The first oddities were noticed a year ago.
They tried to write to OCZ, but the appeal was ignored.
About a month ago, we purchased a new SSD from another manufacturer to backup and move.
But they didn't make it.
Well-known utilities don't show SSD status, only R.tester could.
Even the mother (SSD Utility) did not recognize the SSD.
According to the experience of handling the HDD, we tried to get files through R-Studio.
We waited an hour, but did not see anything, so we decided to stop.
We tried to make a full image using R-Drive Image.
But in 5 hours - 0% and an approximate estimate of ~ 42 days.
Judging by the topics that I managed to find in the search, such manipulations could make things worse.
I would like to know from the experts.
Are there any chances to get something from there, for example using Linux builds?
In disk management, it looks like this:

Judging by the color, the numbers are not very good - R.tester:

upd: 08.08.19
In 1 day - 2% in R-Drive Image, had to be stopped.
Judging by the answers, it's not worth trying.

Hardly ever.

Did you change the disk?

Backup is usually done on schedule.

If the data is critical, it is better to give it to a data recovery service. They, most likely, will have more chances.
An example of the data recovery process from an SSD on your controller.

Generic utilities cannot read anything from an SSD if the data has been TRIMed (i.e. just deleted during normal operation). By analogy with the HDD, it does not roll here. On the HDD, only the service information of the file is marked deleted, although its "body" itself remains "lying", and on the SSD all blocks of the file are marked clean. Accordingly, reading these blocks will return either garbage or zeros.
The same goes for controller failures and destruction of internal storage data.
Recovery in theory is still possible (there is information inside the chips), but it is compressed, encrypted, and in order to figure it out, you will need an expensive guru and additional equipment. Accordingly, it costs very non-trivial money.
It's probably not worth kicking at OCZ - the company produced good disks, but went bankrupt after a buggy firmware of the Vertex 450 series and is now outbid by Toshiba.
I think that you need to write letters to OCZ in a different way (pray in church with a candle)... :)
