A solid-state drive is much quicker than any regular hard disk. The reason is that an HDD works by using spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and warmer they become, whereas an SDD operates with modules of flash memory, therefore there are no actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are much higher, which makes this kind of drives a recommended solution any time speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are in many cases employed for the Operating System on a personal computer and for keeping data which is used frequently on hosting servers. Many service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they keep the data on hard-disks, but they use one or more SSDs so as to cache the more frequently used data and because of this, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is decreased as their disks have to spin less often to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

In case you host your Internet sites in a cloud hosting account from our company, you'll definitely notice their exceptional performance. The reason is that our cloud platform uses only SSD drives for all the files, emails and databases and we don't use HDDs for any part of the website hosting service. Along with the state-of-the-art ZFS file system, this configuration will boost the speed of your websites considerably. For load-balancing, we also use a number of SSDs for caching purposes only. All of the content that generates more traffic or creates plenty of reading/writing processes is duplicated on them automatically, so the load on the primary drives will be reduced, thus the overall performance of all websites hosted on our end will be better. The abovementioned subsequently prolongs the life of the primary drives and lessens the chance of a disk failure, which is another guarantee for the integrity of any content that you upload to your account.

Similar to other service providers, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you'll be able to take advantage of the top-notch performance all the time and whatever the type of your Internet sites. The caching solid-state drives are used for load-balancing and all frequently accessed content is copied on them, which both lowers the load and ensures the optimal performance of all websites that load directly from the main drives. The lifespan of the latter will also be increased considering that there will be considerably less reading and writing processes on them.
