wow I did not expect so many replies! Thanks everyone!
I have to be honest, I did not catch every single reply but I promise I'll study those in theese days and try to solve!

Anyway what i got is that you all agree it is not very likely that the problem is the power supply and the most rated guilty party is the adapter. I can't find any data about that but it's a random amazon one so no surprises.
Without out knowing the chip set of your SATA adapter (and, maybe, the SSD size and make) one cannot discount it "being the problem". FWIW I have had several P4B's and a P400 booting from a USB-to-SATA connected SSD - historically ASMedia chipsets, more recently Realtek using a "standard" P4 PSU. (links to more details below**). What else is connected to the Pi's USB?

Trev.

The SSD is a WD BLUE 250GB model WDS250G2B0A-00SM50
no other devices connected except for a keyboard and a monitor

I'll keep you updated with my tries!
Thanks again
