After swapping the adapter everything work as expected.

Same PCB, same chipset ... the only difference is manufacture date
That is very interesting - can you post a few pics of the device(s) you used and links to where you got them from?

so it could be a firmware issue with the adapter. The sata -> ide chlp must read some data from the SSD to present it as an IDE drive (this is why the drive appears as a "samsung" when connected to a machine, and the size appears right).
