A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media which uses flash modules to save info. The solid-state drives remain relatively new and more pricey than the classic hard disk drives (HDD), however they are considerably faster, so they are often employed for Operating Systems and apps on both desktops and servers. An SSD is preferred as it doesn't have spinning disks which restrict its speed and can even cause overheating as it may happen with an HDD. Numerous companies work with SSDs for caching purposes, so all content which is accessed more frequently will be held on this kind of drives, while all the other content will be stored on regular HDDs. The main reason to use such a setup is to balance the price and performance of their website hosting platform and to reduce the load on the HDDs resulting from countless reading and writing processes.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

Our top-notch cloud hosting platform employs only SSD drives, so in case you go for any of our cloud hosting solutions, you will benefit from the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use HDDs, so your files, databases and e-mails will all open from quick SSDs. For even better performance, we use caching solid-state drives. Multiple drives are used by our system for every file that's accessed more frequently and the data on these drives is dynamically updated in order to ensure that all of the traffic-intensive files load from them. This way, the load on the main drives is reduced, so we can provide exceptional performance for all Internet sites irrespective of how many times they are accessed and avoid a situation where some websites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes generated by others. This setup also improves the lifespan of the primary drives and reduces the risk of disk failure.

By reducing the overall load we also boost the lifespan of the primary storage drives and lower the possibility of a disk failure, so by employing SSD drives for caching purposes, we add one more level of stability for your site content.
