A solid-state drive is substantially quicker than any conventional hard disk. It is because a hard-disk drive uses rotating disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the slower and warmer they get, while an SDD takes advantage of modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are drastically higher, which makes these drives the best solution if speed is needed. That's why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a home PC and for storing data that is accessed frequently on web servers. Numerous providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they store the data on HDDs, but they use a couple of SSDs in order to cache the more often used data and as a result, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is reduced because their disks have to spin less frequently in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

Our top-notch cloud website hosting platform uses exclusively SSD drives, so in case you obtain any of our cloud hosting plans, you will take advantage of the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use hard drives, so your files, databases and e-mail messages will all open from fast SSDs. For even improved performance, we also use caching solid-state drives. Multiple drives are used by our system for each file that's accessed more regularly and the data on these drives is dynamically updated in order to ensure that all the traffic-intensive files load from them. That way, the load on the primary drives is lowered, so we can provide perfect performance for all kinds of Internet sites regardless of how frequently they're accessed and prevent a situation where some sites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes created by others. This setup also raises the lifespan of the primary drives and reduces the possibility of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you subscribe for one of our semi-dedicated server solutions, we'll save your content on SSD drives and this is valid not just for the files, but also for all databases and emails. Thus, your script-driven applications and webmail will load amazingly quickly. We work with dedicated SSDs for caching as well. Traffic-intensive website content is copied automatically on these drives, so we make certain that a few heavy sites which generate a lot of reading and writing processes shall not impact the other sites that share the exact same drive. By reduction of the overall load we also increase the lifespan of the main storage drives and decrease the chance of a disk failure, so by employing SSD drives for caching purposes, we add one more level of protection for your website content.
