I don't know. Your log file does not mention the manufacturer and the model of your 500 GB.
I guess it is a HDD, in case of being a SSD the SSD can be broken but allowing read operations.
Yes, it is a HDD, labelled as ASMT 2115. The manifacturer is HGST.
ASMT 2115 is most likely not the model. This seems to be rather an USB/SATA interface circuit.

yes, it is a SATA HGST Z5K500-500 (hopefully this is the model).

It used to be an internal HDD of an ASUS laptop.
