You're dealing with an unusual issue where ESXi resets after switching from a SATA drive to a USB flash drive. This suggests a potential conflict between the storage medium and the operating system configuration. It might be worth checking if your ESXi version supports flash drives directly or if there are specific settings you need to adjust for compatibility. Also, ensure that your VMware license key and network configurations remain intact during the migration process. Consider testing with a different USB drive type or size to see if it resolves the problem.
Upgrading to the original ESXi 6.7 version resolved the problem.
