I definitely see a few ripped pads but repair is still probably doable. I’ve repaired similar in the past a few times. It takes some patience to say the least. If that’s a high capacity drive in today’s economy definitely don’t throw it out.

They’re just some no-name BGA copper foil repair pads. You can get packs of various sizes for pretty cheap. Scrape to expose remaining trace, solder the new pad in place, remove excess tail, clean, cap with UV solder mask, solder down the chip, etc. They’re pretty easy to work with after some practice.
