Update: the TestDisk scan has been completed this morning but the 3 dummy partitions were not recoverable (their start and end wasn’t right anyway 
) I have only one partition as it was out of the box, I didn’t do any formatting or partition. just used it as it is!
One thought I have though, could the problem be in the controller board, so the drive thinks its reading, but it’s not reading the right data? I mean is there a possibility that the media is ok, partition table is good, so as the filesystem, but it’s the controller board is unable to read it in the right way?
