    Hi, just wondering if someone can confirm if the Crucial MX300 1TB drive will work in the Supermicro E300-8D super server and if that is a good option for these servers? Q2: I did a quick search on the forum and it seems folks are using the NVMe type drives which I am guessing are faster but it...
