A solid-state drive is substantially quicker than any normal hard disk. The reason is that a hard-disk drive uses rotating disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the sluggish and warmer they get, at the same time an SDD uses modules of flash memory, so there are no physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are much higher, which makes these drives the best solution every time speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are often used for the Operating System on a laptop or computer and for saving data that's accessed often on web servers. A lot of service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they keep the data on HDDs, but they use one or more solid-state drives so as to cache the more frequently used data and because of that, the data loads quicker while the load on the HDDs is decreased as their disks have to spin less frequently in order to read and write.
SSD with Data Caching in Hosting
Our innovative cloud Internet hosting platform uses exclusively SSD drives, so in case you obtain any of our hosting plans, you will take full advantage of the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use hard disk drives, so your files, databases and e-mails will all load from extremely fast SSDs. For even better performance, we also use caching solid-state drives. A number of drives are used by our system for every file which is accessed more regularly and the data on these drives is dynamically refreshed in order to ensure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. In this way, the load on the primary drives is lowered, so we can ensure exceptional performance for all kinds of Internet sites irrespective of how many times 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 improves 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 offer are made on a cloud platform that uses exclusively SSD drives. We don't use HDDs any longer, so your sites will load extremely fast because we employ SSDs for all aspects of the service - files, databases and email addresses. As some users may host Internet sites that can be more frequently visited than others, we also use many drives for caching. Our system discovers all of the content which is loaded more often and clones it on these drives in order to load it from them. This setup is used for load-balancing purposes as we guarantee that several reading/writing intensive websites will not affect the performance of the other websites which are stored on the very same primary drive. Using caching drives also increases the life-span of the main storage SSDs and reduces the possibility of disk failures.
