A solid-state drive is much quicker than any standard hard disk. It is because a hard-disk drive works by using rotating disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they become, whereas an SDD takes advantage of modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes this kind of drives the best solution in case speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a PC and for saving data that's accessed frequently on servers. A large number of service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they store the data on hard-disks, but they use a couple of SSDs so as to cache the more frequently used data and consequently, the data loads a lot faster while the load on the HDDs is decreased since their disks have to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Hosting

Our top-notch cloud web hosting platform employs only SSD drives, so in case you go for any of our hosting plans, you can take full advantage of the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use hard disk drives, so your files, databases and email messages will all load from fast SSDs. For even greater performance, we also use caching SSDs. A number of drives are used by our system for any file that is accessed more frequently and the data on these drives is dynamically updated in order to make sure that all the traffic-intensive files load from them. This way, the load on the main drives is decreased, so we can ensure excellent performance for all websites no matter how frequently they are accessed and avoid 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 Hosting

All semi-dedicated hosting accounts that we offer are made on a cloud platform which uses solely SSD drives. We don't use HDDs anymore, so your Internet sites will load very quickly because we use SSDs for each aspect of the service - files, databases and e-mails. Considering that some customers may host sites which could be more frequently visited than others, we also use a number of drives for caching. Our system finds all of the content which is accessed more regularly and copies it on these drives so as to load it from them. This configuration is used for load-balancing purposes as we make sure that several reading/writing intensive sites will not affect the performance of the other Internet sites that are stored on the same main drive. Using caching drives also raises the life-span of the main storage SSDs and reduces the possibility of disk failures.
