Is doing dd a good thing at 15kB/s ?

I am trying to recover a 2T WD win10 system drive and I have it on a linux MInt machine and I'm running dd on it. I'm getting only 15KB/s.
This means an enormous number of failed reads doesn't it? I just got quoted a figure of something like 100 billion reads to get 1 GB written.
Since learning that I'm thinking the drive will never make it. I should abort and do something else.
Anyone got any advice?
