It's a faulty drive, even if you try to revive it.
Chances of data corrupted are very high so best to replace it.
The drive still shows means it is detected by the laptop but
Windows cannot install on it.

This is a failsafe protection by Windows, FYI if you force
install Windows will be super slow or crash mid way.
Hope this you would understand much better.

You can approach shops like:

- Challenger *Their service charge are rather ex.
- PCDreams at SLS/Bugis Junction Service charge are reasonable

Cheapest SSD is around $70 (Sandisk, Samsung) for 240GB.
Please do not skimp when buying storage device like SSD.
Cheaper SSD as well as unknown brands, risk of data loss are very high.

If you want cheaper storage with bigger storage than consider normal
hard disk.
However laptop running hard disk can be quite slow when running Windows 10.

Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD cost around $6X.
