Samsung 960 Pro Series SSDs vs Intel SSD Series 5 (2017)

While the Samsung SSD 960 Pro 1TB wasn't able to make it to the very top of any roundups from sources that perform quality hands-on testing, it still got featured in a large number of them. Expert Reviews, hardwarezone.com.sg, TechSpot, TrustedReviews, Techradar, and PCmag have all deemed it worthy of a place on their respective shortlists.

Taking a look at the Intel SSD 545s 2.5" 512GB, it got featured in roundups from two reliable sources that conduct their own testing - PCWorld and PCmag - but it fell short of earning a top spot in either.

Sources that tested and scored both products, like PCmag, haven't shown a preference for either in their reviews.
