Question Secondary SSD disappeared, recovered and slowed down.

[using google in BSOD]

Just an hour ago, i was transferring files to this secondary SSD. nothing too serious, just some documents and pictures.
Then i was hit with a BSOD. didn't remember the code on the screen but after that, the secondary SSD disappeared.

Opened BIOS, SSD restored, and re-entered Windows 11.
The SSD slowed significantly and more than half of my files corrupted. is there a possible solution to this?
I don't mean i need to recover the files, but the speed that my SSD used to run in.

Thanks



Edit: What i mean by slow is that whenever i try to interact with the secondary SSD (whether that be copying files, viewing a picture, etc), the whole system will freeze for a few seconds upon clicking

Please select S.M.A.R.T. tab under View to see details of any errors. It's showing some bad sectors because of which any viable data should be immediately backed up and drive replaced as it's not repairable and further data loss inevitable. That also has impact on real performance and system slowdowns.
PS. 21 days old is practically new so you probably have warranty for it.
