I think the 870 is a bit faster than the 860, but I believe it was only a 20-25% difference. My drive is also about half full, so about twice as much data. Though I don't think the full scan is checking the drive in that way. Must be another explanation - perhaps your interface speed?
I'll have to run on my 860 once it's back in the box.

Thanks for the nice checklist. Why repair the old OS before eliminating it? I feel like there's more that could go wrong as a result of that step - I'm not that trusting of MS Windows repair tools unless absolutely needed. They seem to create more problems than they fix.
I remember once I had a hard drive full of data. The data was accessible. Windows flagged an issue with the drive, ran chkdsk on it, made more than an hour worth of changes. When it was done, my drive had no accessible data. MS turned it into a doorstop.

Incidentally, about how much time should I budget for chkdsk /r on a 1TB SSD (Samsung QVO 970)? More like an hour or more like 10 hours?
