A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media that uses flash modules to save information. The solid-state drives are still fairly new and more pricey when compared to standard hard disk drives (HDD), yet they're much faster, so they are often used for Operating Systems and apps on both home PCs and web hosting servers. An SSD is preferred as it doesn't have spinning disks which restrict its speed and may cause overheating as it may happen with an HDD. A number of companies employ SSDs for caching purposes, so any website content which is accessed more often will be located on such drives, while all other content will be held on standard HDDs. The main reason to use this type of a setup is to balance the cost and performance of their website hosting platform and to minimize the load on the HDDs caused by intense reading and writing processes.
SSD with Data Caching in Website Hosting
We use exclusively SSDs on our top-notch cloud hosting platform and we've eliminated all HDDs on the production servers as to offer better loading speeds for all aspects of our services - files, emails and databases. That way, all of the content you upload to your website hosting account will be reachable amazingly quickly. To enhance the performance of the websites hosted on our end even further, we also use multiple SSDs which function solely as cache - our system stores regularly accessed content on them and updates it automatically. We employ such a setup to guarantee that resource-demanding Internet sites do not influence the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and that way all other Internet sites can also take advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. Furthermore, given that the load on the main drives is reduced, their lifespan will be longer, that's one more warranty for the safety and integrity of your information.
