A solid-state drive is much faster than any conventional hard-disk drive. This is because an HDD employs spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they get, at the same time an SDD takes advantage of modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are drastically higher, which makes this kind of drives the right solution every time speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are frequently employed for the Operating System on a PC and for storing data that's accessed often on servers. Numerous service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they save the data on hard disk drives, but they use a couple of SSDs in order to cache the more often used data and due to this fact, the data loads a lot faster while the load on the HDDs is reduced as their disks need to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Web Hosting

Our modern cloud Internet hosting platform employs exclusively SSD drives, so in case you obtain any of our web hosting plans, you will benefit from the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use hard disks, so your files, databases and e-mails will all open from high-speed SSDs. For even better performance, we use caching SSDs. Multiple drives are used by our system for each file that's accessed more frequently and the data on these drives is dynamically updated to ensure that all of the traffic-intensive files load from them. That way, the load on the main drives is lowered, so we can ensure excellent performance for all sorts of Internet sites irrespective of how often they're accessed and prevent a situation where some websites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes created by others. This setup also increases the lifespan of the primary drives and reduces the chance of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you register for one of our semi-dedicated server plans, we will save your content on SSD drives and this is valid not just for the files, but also for all of the databases and e-mail messages. Thus, your script-driven apps and webmail will load speedily. We employ dedicated SSDs for caching too. Traffic-intensive website content is duplicated automatically on these drives, so we make certain that a few heavy sites which generate a lot of reading and writing processes can't impact the other Internet sites that share the same drive. By reduction of the overall load we also raise the lifespan of the primary storage disks and reduce the probability of a disk failure, so by employing SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an additional level of stability for your content.
