I'm not sure how hard it its to change out the drive controller itself. It might new difficult to get a spare.
The data is almost certainly recoverable. A data recovery company can probably get all your says back...for a fee.

Fortunately I have a great backup system in full partion images.
I guess it's simply a matter of getting a new drive partiion it like the bad drive D:, E: and F: and then copy the partitions to the new drive.
by the way, how hard is it to change out the controller board on the drive? I can't get the bad drive to make a sound, it's dead when connected to outside power. Tapped it a few times to see if that might knock it lose, but nothing.
Bums me out. It was a perfectly good drive last week. And there is a ton of data on the drive I have to have for my business.
