A solid-state drive is really faster than any normal hard disk. This is because a hard-disk drive uses spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the slower and warmer they become, at the same time an SDD employs modules of flash memory, so there are no physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes this sort of drives the best solution if speed is needed. That's why SSDs are often employed for the Operating System on a personal computer and for saving data that's accessed repeatedly on servers. Numerous service providers also use a combination of both drives, so they keep the data on hard-disks, but they use a couple of SSDs so as 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 have to spin less frequently to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Web Hosting

Our modern cloud Internet hosting platform employs solely SSD drives, so if you go for any of our shared web hosting packages, you can benefit from the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use HDDs, so your files, databases and e-mails will all open from fast SSDs. For even improved performance, we use caching solid-state drives. Multiple drives are used by our system for any file that's accessed more regularly and the data on these drives is dynamically refreshed in order to make sure that all of the traffic-intensive files load from them. That way, the load on the main drives is decreased, so we can ensure excellent performance for all types of sites irrespective of how frequently they're accessed and avoid a situation where some Internet sites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes created by others. This setup also raises the lifespan of the main drives and decreases the chance of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All semi-dedicated hosting accounts that we provide are made on a cloud platform which employs solely SSD drives. We don't use HDDs anymore, so your Internet sites will load very fast as we use SSDs for each part of the service - files, databases and emails. As some users may host sites which are more popular than others, we also use a number of drives for caching. Our system identifies all of the content which is loaded more often and duplicates it on these drives in order to load it from them. This configuration is used for load-balancing purposes as we make sure that several reading/writing intensive websites will not influence the performance of the other sites which are stored on the very same primary drive. Using caching drives also increases the lifespan of the main storage SSDs and reduces the possibility of disk failures.
