Hum the Crucial m500 is pretty slow. The biggest one doesn’t even reach 300MB/s. Intel DC S3700 100G showed around 200MB/sec for us. Actually, I don’t know the price difference between the crucial and the intel but the intel looks more suitable for me. Especially after Mark’s comment. –––– Sébastien Han Cloud Engineer "Always give 100%.
