Hi Kvark LT, try checking your Samsung MZVPV256HDGL with apple diagnostic tool first, you may also perform extended test to your computer.
Let us know the results.

Thanks Dan, ITs new and its working 100% - question is that I need to change in configuration (new macbook user :)) to make it start from this disk. Then I boot from Hight Sierra usb flash - disk is visible and disk tool dont have any complains. I am windows user, its sounds for me like i should mark partition to be bootable? But not sure how to do that in macos

Th installer would have set the internal drive as the boot. If it didn’t or couldn’t then you’ll need to start the system without the external and press and hold the option key to get the boot manager to then select the internal drive. Once you’re running go into prefs and alter the startup disk setting. That should fix that. If not the adapter is bad.
