A solid-state drive is really faster than any regular hard-disk drive. It is because an HDD works by using spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the slower and hotter they become, whereas an SDD employs modules of flash memory, so there are no physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are substantially higher, which makes this kind of drives a recommended solution any time speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are often used for the Operating System on a personal computer and for keeping data that's accessed regularly on web servers. Many service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they store the data on HDDs, but they use one or more SSDs to cache the more often used data and because of this, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered since their disks need to spin less often to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Hosting

In case you host your sites in a hosting account with us, you will definitely notice their fantastic performance. The reason is that our cloud platform uses only SSD drives for all the files, email addresses and databases and we don't use HDDs for any part of the web hosting service.

All of the content which generates more traffic or causes plenty of reading/writing processes is copied on them automatically, so the load on the primary drives will be lower, thus the overall performance of all Internet sites hosted on our end will improve. The aforementioned subsequently prolongs the life of the main drives and decreases the possibility of a disk failure, that is one more warranty for the integrity of any content which you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

The content on the latter is refreshed dynamically and as a result we can balance the load on all the drives, warrant their extended lifespan, lower the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide you with a super fast and reliable website hosting service.
