Um....should it take more than 8 hours for Disk Utility to "erase" an Evo 850 500GB SSD that is a known good?

Yeah, I didn't think so. This doesn't bode well for the machine. Maybe it is that cable. Clearly, there is an I/O issue some where though.

Any other ideas on things to check before searching for a cable on the web? I'd hate to condemn this machine though it is VERY long in the tooth.
