Avoid running CHKDSK in repair mode, as there is a risk that this will worsen the problem. Even in read-only mode, CHKDSK has the potential to exacerbate the situation, so I would avoid it altogether.
In any case, you should not be writing to the source drive.
Can you show us the SMART report with a tool such as GSmartControl or CrystalDiskInfo?

BTW, you haven't said whether Robocopy was able to save your data.
As for your USB enclosure, many people are reporting stability problems over USB. One user cured his problem by downgrading from USB-C to USB 3.0. It seems that the connection loses sync at the higher link rates.

Nobody knows what state the file system is in after all that you've done to it and as it's little more than a container for the actual files which you can access still it really doesn't matter either.
