A solid-state drive is incredibly faster than any normal hard-disk drive. The reason is that an HDD uses rotating disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the slower and hotter they get, at the same time an SDD takes advantage of modules of flash memory, so there are no physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are a lot higher, which makes this kind of drives a preferred solution in case speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are often employed for the Operating System on a computer system and for storing data that is accessed frequently on web servers. Many service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they keep the data on hard drives, but they use one or more SSDs so as to cache the more often used data and for that reason, the data loads a lot quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered since their disks have to spin less frequently to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Website Hosting

Our state-of-the-art cloud website hosting platform employs only SSD drives, so if you buy any of our website hosting solutions, you can take advantage of the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use HDDs, so your files, databases and email messages will all open from ultra fast SSDs. For even greater performance, we use caching solid-state drives. A group of drives are used by our system for every file that is accessed more regularly and the data on these drives is dynamically updated in order to make sure that all of the traffic-intensive files load from them. This way, the load on the primary drives is reduced, so we can guarantee excellent performance for all types of Internet sites no matter how often they're accessed and avoid a situation where some sites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes generated by others. This setup also increases the lifespan of the main drives and decreases the risk of disk failure.
