So I conclude there'e no any handy way to repair the drive. okay ..
Let me ask you few critical questions as final posts of the thread for now..
<HELP>
1st : I'm going to never use the drive (retire it somehow) until Apple releases APFS documentation and then apps like DiskWorrier has chance to support and implement "rebuilding and repairing" APFS which at the moment of speaking it's not feasible.
The question is here that can I take an "IMAGE" from the disk using Disk Utility and count on it as a %100 copy of the drive? I'm new to this particular 'thing' and never already used disk utility to make an IMAGE. I'm going to take an image and just use one of DISK or its IMAGE for recovery and repairing purposes. (image is more preferred if technically can be used)
2nd : What happens if I erase the disk using Disk Utility? All 488Million blocks turn zero or they would remain intact? It does matter, cause beside "taking image" idea, I would have a chance to use recovery programs (though I know disk drill still doesn't support APFS)
3rd : Let me know please what would you personally do if you were me?
