Some motherboards now come with a secure erase tool in the BIOS. If your motherboard does, you could always try using that on the drive to wipe it completely and see if it can be brought back at all.  Edit: to be on the safe side, I would disconnect all other drives before doing this (just so you don't get the wrong one erased somehow) and it might not work over USB.

When I was buying a 2 TB M.2 SSD, the Kingston KC2500 was only about $10-ish more than the WD SN550 and seemingly comes with DDR3L DRAM cache on board, so that might be an option for 2TB buyers. The 1 TB version seemed less competitive with the price of the 1 TB SN550, though.
