A solid-state drive is substantially quicker than any regular hard disk. The reason is that an HDD works by using spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the slower and hotter they become, whereas an SDD uses modules of flash memory, hence there are no actually moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are substantially higher, which makes this type of drives a recommended solution when speed is needed. That's why SSDs are often employed for the Operating System on a personal computer and for storing data that's accessed repeatedly on hosting servers. Numerous providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they save the data on hard disk drives, but they use one or more SSDs to cache the more often used data and due to this fact, the data loads faster while the load on the HDDs is reduced as their disks need to spin less frequently to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

Our state-of-the-art cloud website hosting platform employs only SSD drives, so in case you go for any of our cloud hosting plans, you can take advantage of the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use hard drives, so your files, databases and e-mails will all open from extremely fast SSDs. For even improved performance, we use caching solid-state drives. A group of drives are used by our system for every file that is accessed more often and the data on these drives is dynamically updated to ensure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. That way, the load on the primary drives is reduced, so we can provide perfect performance for all kinds of Internet sites no matter how many times they're 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 improves the lifespan of the primary drives and decreases the possibility of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

All semi-dedicated server accounts that we offer are made on a cloud platform that uses solely SSD drives. We don't use HDDs any longer, so your sites will load very fast since we employ SSDs for each aspect of the service - files, databases and email addresses. As some customers may host Internet sites that are more frequently visited than others, we also use numerous drives for caching. Our system finds any content that is loaded more often and copies it on these drives so as to load it from them. This configuration is used for load-balancing purposes as we ensure that several reading/writing intensive websites will not affect the performance of the rest of the websites which are stored on the same main drive. Using caching drives also raises the lifespan of the main storage SSDs and lowers the possibility of disk failures.
