A solid-state drive is noticeably quicker than any regular hard disk. The reason is that a hard-disk drive uses spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they get, while an SDD works with modules of flash memory, therefore there are no physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are substantially higher, which makes this type of drives the best solution when speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are frequently employed for the Operating System on a desktop or notebook and for keeping data which is used repeatedly on servers. Numerous providers also use a combination of both drives, so they save the data on hard-disks, but they use one or more solid-state drives to cache the more frequently used data and due to this fact, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is decreased as their disks need to spin less often to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Web Hosting

Our top-notch cloud hosting platform employs only SSD drives, so in case you acquire any of our shared web hosting solutions, you can take advantage of the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use hard disk drives, so your files, databases and email messages will all open from quick SSDs. For even better performance, we use caching SSDs. A number of drives are used by our system for every file that's accessed often and the data on these drives is dynamically updated to ensure that all of the traffic-intensive files load from them. This way, the load on the primary drives is lowered, so we can guarantee perfect performance for all kinds of websites regardless of how many times 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 raises the lifespan of the primary drives and reduces the chance of disk failure.
