I have a Mid 2010 Mac Mini and I installed a Kingston 480 Gb SSD last year. If I keep it always connected to the energy plug, it boots in Safe Mode only very occasionally, but when I started to use a energy stabilizer that is turned off after I use the computer, then it always boot in Safe Mode. For sure it has something to do with the PRAM, but in my case, all I need to do is to restart (soft boot) and VOILÁ! Everything works very smoothly without any issues so far. It runs macOS Sierra and I still didn't upgrade to newer versions not only because it's old hardware, but because I concern there be problems with Apple's new file system (APFS) that converts and treats SSDs differently…
