I've been going through stack of external USB drives with laptop disks in them. They're all failing in some form or another. I'm going to have to migrate it all to a NAS with server-class drives I guess

At the very least, you can usually still get the data off of them. Most SSDs I've encountered with defects failed catastrophically, rendering the data completely inaccessible.
