A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media which uses flash modules so as to save info. The solid-state drives are still fairly new and more expensive than the classic hard disk drives (HDD), but they are faster, so they are ordinarily used for Operating Systems and apps on both desktops and hosting servers. An SSD is recommended as it does not have spinning disks which restrict its speed and may even cause overheating like it could happen with an HDD. A large number of companies use SSDs for caching purposes, so all website content which is accessed more often will be held on this type of drives, while all other content will be kept on regular HDDs. The reason to use this kind of a configuration is to balance the price and performance of their hosting platform and to minimize the load on the HDDs caused by intense reading and writing processes.

SSD with Data Caching in Hosting

Our innovative cloud hosting platform uses solely SSD drives, so if you go for any of our hosting packages, you can take full advantage of the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use HDDs, so your files, databases and emails will all load from quick SSDs. For even improved performance, we use caching SSDs. A group of drives are used by our system for any file that is accessed more often and the data on these drives is dynamically refreshed to make sure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. That way, the load on the main drives is lowered, so we can ensure perfect performance for all sorts of Internet sites regardless of how many times they are accessed and prevent a situation where some websites are affected by too many reading and writing processes generated by others. This setup also improves the lifespan of the primary drives and reduces the risk 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 only SSD drives. We don't use HDDs anymore, so your websites will load extremely fast since we use SSDs for every aspect of the service - files, databases and email addresses. As some people may host sites that could be more popular than others, we also use multiple drives for caching. Our system finds all of the content that is accessed more regularly and duplicates it on these drives in order to load it from them. This configuration is used for load-balancing purposes as we guarantee that several reading/writing intensive websites will not influence the performance of the other sites which are stored on the same main drive. Using caching drives also raises the life-span of the main storage SSDs and decreases the probability of disk failures.
