You're trying to connect your SATA SSD to a USB port using an adapter, but Windows 10 Pro isn't booting normally. It keeps restarting and entering recovery mode. Only safe mode is working now. This setup seems challenging, though it might be possible depending on configuration. Reinstalling Windows appears to resolve the issue. Some sources suggest SATA SSDs can work over USB SCSI, but they're typically considered removable drives. After reinstalling, it seems the problem has been fixed.

Even if possible, relocate the remaining drives to USB, avoid using the boot drive... And remember, all USB devices are detachable.

Initially, Windows installs drivers for USB during startup, which means you can't start the system until those drivers are ready. This creates a loop. For non-essential drives, use USB instead of the main system drive.

Thank you all for your responses. It worked to boot after a complete Windows reinstall. It seems there might be some special handling for the SCSI adapter.

Performance remains lacking, which is more critical for the OS drive than any other concern.
