Do you have your motherboard set to AHCI?
Can the BIOS see it?
Different sata/power cable?

I would def try direct connection just to be sure, I wouldn't trust an external adapter at this point. I'm going to assume it's just a bad connection/caddy.

is it already initialized?

What model of Intel SSD?
(Some of the Intel enterprise SSD's require 12v which a USB adapter won't supply e.g. S3700 Series needs 0.6A 12v in addition to 1.44A 5v)

Dont think so, it doesnt show in Storage manager
Damn!
Its an enterprise S3610 which i specially wanted because its got full PLP.
I am sure my older S3500 worked in the same enclosure.

What does the sticker on the drive state?
(A quick google looks like they don't need 12V, but the higher capacity drives draw a reasonable amount 1.2A or more on the 800GB+ drives which is more than 2.5" HDD draw these days)
Does your enclosure have a single usb, or does it have a 2nd "power only" usb connector (If so this will likely need to be plugged in)
You need to try it inside a PC, if it works then it's an enclosure issue.
S3500 definitely lists 12V on the sticker so would be surprised if that worked in a USB enclosure.
MX500 is at most 1.2A 5V for the 2TB version from what I can see.

The S3610 say 1.4A at 5v, here is the smaller 1.2tb version;

Both enclosures are single cable units and I can see an Inatech enclosure on AMZ which has a PSU option if necessary.
Yes, i need to try a direct MB connection and you are correct the S3500 needs 12v so I am mistaken
