The age doesn't matter.

When you say the SSD was powered by the motherboard, do you mean there was a
separate connection to the motherboard (not part of the USB cable) providing
power for the drive?  Or do you mean that the drive received its power over the
USB cable, which was plugged into the motherboard?

Even if you don't own a powered USB hub, you may be able to borrow one or buy
one cheaply.  (There are some available on Amazon for under $15.)

I admit there's a good chance that this is not the explanation for your
problems.  But it might be.  It would explain why the drive works with other
computers but not with yours.
