A solid-state drive is noticeably faster than any standard hard disk. This is because an HDD employs rotating disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they become, whereas an SDD uses modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are drastically higher, which makes this sort of drives an ideal solution in case speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are often employed for the Operating System on a PC and for saving data that's accessed regularly on servers. A lot of service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they store the data on hard disk drives, but they use one or more SSDs in order to cache the more often used data and as a consequence, the data loads quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered because their disks need to spin less frequently in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Web Hosting

We use solely SSDs on our top-notch cloud web hosting platform and we have eliminated all HDDs on the production servers in order to provide outstanding loading speeds for all aspects of our services - files, emails and databases. That way, any content that you upload to your cloud web hosting account will be reachable amazingly quickly. In order to enhance the performance of the sites hosted on our end even more, we also use a number of SSDs that function exclusively as cache - our system saves routinely accessed content on them and upgrades it without delay. We take advantage of this type of a setup to make sure that traffic-intensive sites do not affect the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and that way all other websites can also take full advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. Furthermore, since the load on the main drives is reduced, their life-span will be longer, that is one more guarantee for the security and stability of your data.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

All semi-dedicated server accounts that we offer are made on a cloud platform which uses solely SSD drives. We don't use HDDs any longer, so your Internet sites will load extremely fast as we use SSDs for every aspect of the service - files, databases and e-mail addresses. Considering that some users may host websites which could be more frequently visited than others, we also use multiple drives for caching. Our system finds all the content which is loaded more regularly and copies it on these drives in order to load it from them. This configuration is used for load-balancing purposes as we guarantee that several reading/writing intensive websites will not affect the performance of the other websites which are stored on the very same main drive. Using caching drives also raises the life-span of the main storage SSDs and lowers the probability of disk failures.
