That is why I hammered the point to use Google Drive or Dropbox or for-the-love-of-god-anything to my friends at Uni. It really, really sucks when it happens to you, but I feel it's something that must happen to everyone once before they learn the lesson. As for the drive, what actually has happened with it? You might be able to take it to a data recovery firm, in some cases with traditional HDDs it's as simple as replacing the controller chip with one from the same model; I have no idea if that would be possible for a SSD however. Backups are to become mandatory weekly.
