More than a little dismaying, considering Kingston is one of the biggest memory manufacturers (actually, I think they're actually the largest independent flash memory manufacturer now).
All I can say is thank you for the report, which will hopefully help someone else not run into this issue. I don't know what the cause is... it could be a simply incompatibility between the USB-SATA controller and SSD controller, or some thing about that particular SSD controller and the pine64. I know I had some issues a few years ago with USB HDD docks and compatibility... especially the USB3 ones... paid quite a bit of money to get a particular chipset USB HDD dock from the US as it was the most compatible USB3 dock at the time.
Just some questions to try and gather some more information...
Did the Kingston drive work on those USB-SATA controllers on the other SBC? Did this happen when you tried mounting it... or when you were trying to boot from it? And no indication from the dmesg output as to what was going on? Did it report the Kingston drive detected at all? Maybe compare the dmesg output when connecting the USB-SATA controller with another SSD, and see what difference this is in the messages, if any?
