Pity. I was hoping you'd have a spare HDD you could drop in. If that
successfully stores the data the problem could be in the SSD. If both
fail after around the same runtime, then the disk enclosure is likely to
be the problem.

Did the enclosure get hot when it failed with the SSD installed?
If yes, try it again, fully assembled but with any screws etc. that hold
the enclosure together omitted so that when it fails again you can
quickly whip it apart and feel round to see whether the SSD or the
USB:SATA adapter is hot.
