I’m suspecting you are hitting a system limitation here! The SSD you have is likely a fixed SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) which is unable to run in a SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) system.
So its not the SSD that’s bad or the SATA cable its a mis-match of SATA I/O standards!
This gets into the design of the SSD being either Fixed speed or one that has the added techlogiy to match up with the systems SATA ports I/O speed.
A good way to think of it is like a bike which has a direct drive from the peddles to the rear wheel. or a bike that has a gear box so it can regulate the speed of the bike.

Review the spec sheet of the drive it should state clearly it’s a SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) drive or one that lists the ability to run on multiple I/O speeds like this one [https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/global.semi.static/Samsung_SSD_860_EVO_Data_Sheet_Rev1.pdf|Samsung 860 EVO] Vs this SSD which is a fixed SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) drive [https://documents.westerndigital.com/content/dam/doc-library/en_us/assets/public/sandisk/product/internal-drives/ssd-plus-sata-iii-ssd/data-sheet-ssd-plus-sata-iii-ssd.pdf|SanDisk SSD Plus]
