WD10TMVW-11ZSMS1 - WD 1TB 2.5" Integrated USB 3.0 Drive

The drive comes up under device manager.

After 5 - 7 mins it comes up under Disk management with correct
capacity

When I click on the drive under windows explorer, it throws up
'Parameter is Incorrect' error

The drive spins up and stays normal with no clicking sounds

R-studio shows no capacity, so unable to image the disk

What is the best way to recover data out of it.

Anyone handled these drive before. Can you please share your
experience ?

I am also looking to solder a SATA connector on to the PCB board. I
have PC3K but the disk is integrated usb. Looking for adapter or pin
layout for soldering SATA connector on to the board to try using PC3K.
