Benchmark Scores it sucks even more less now ;)
Wow it means if I'm always running my laptop at high temperature my drive will get damage as well.

That could be the cause because my laptop was always reaching 94c when gaming. After I undervolted both cpu and gpu now it's only reaching like 82c, but the drive has already died.

Laptop 2.5" HDD's are designed to withstand heat a wee bit better than an 3.5" Desktop HDD but if it was getting hot ie: 65+ degrees then yes that could damage it what happens is the higher the temp of the HDD the lower the air pressure inside (hot air being thinner than cool air) and the less lift the read/write armature has to keep the heads away from the spinning platters so even a small jolt could result in head slap (where the read/write head makes contact with the platter) or in your case as it's an SSHD you've probably cooked the controller chip

Yeah I understand that now, I think I'm going to use a ssd as internal drive after this. The replacement hard drive I'm just going to use it externally as a backup drive.
