A solid-state drive is really quicker than any normal hard disk. This is because an HDD employs rotating disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the slower and hotter they become, at the same time an SDD operates with modules of flash memory, so there are no physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes these drives a recommended solution any time speed is needed. That's why SSDs are often employed for the Operating System on a personal computer and for keeping data that is used often on hosting servers. Many providers also use a combination of both drives, so they store the data on HDDs, but they use a couple of solid-state drives in order to cache the more often used data and because of this, the data loads a lot quicker while the load on the HDDs is reduced as their disks have to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Website Hosting

Our modern cloud Internet hosting platform employs exclusively SSD drives, so in case you acquire any of our website hosting solutions, you can benefit from the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use hard disk drives, so your files, databases and e-mail messages will all load from extremely fast SSDs. For even better performance, we use caching solid-state drives. A number of drives are used by our system for each file which is accessed more frequently and the data on these drives is dynamically updated in order to ensure that all the traffic-intensive files load from them. This way, the load on the main drives is lowered, so we can provide perfect performance for all types of Internet sites irrespective of how frequently they are accessed and avoid a situation where some Internet sites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes created by others. This setup also raises the lifespan of the main drives and decreases the risk of disk failure.
