A solid-state drive is much faster than any regular hard disk. This is because a hard-disk drive uses spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the slower and warmer they become, at the same time an SDD operates with modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are a lot higher, which makes this type of drives a recommended solution if speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are in many cases employed for the Operating System on a PC and for saving data that's used frequently on servers. A large number of providers also use a combination of both drives, so they save the data on hard disk drives, but they use a couple of SSDs to cache the more frequently used data and for that reason, the data loads faster while the load on the HDDs is lowered since their disks have to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Hosting

The cloud platform where we create hosting accounts uses solely SSD drives, so your web applications and static sites will load very quickly. The SSDs are used for files, e-mails and databases, so regardless if you load a page or check for new e-mail messages using webmail, the content will load immediately. To offer even better speeds, we also use a group of dedicated SSDs that work only as cache. All content that generates lots of traffic is copied on them automatically and is afterwards read from them and not from the main storage drives. Of course, that content is replaced dynamically for better efficiency. What we achieve by doing this except for the better speed is lowered overall load, thus lower chance of hardware failures, and prolonged lifespan of the main drives, that is one more level of security for any data that you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Provided you want speed and excellent performance for your websites, our semi-dedicated hosting accounts will be a really suitable solution because they are made on a cloud platform which employs SSDs for each part of the service - e-mail addresses, databases and files. That way, every website that you host on our end will load fast. Similar to other providers, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you will be able to take advantage of the good performance all of the time and whatever the nature of your Internet sites. The caching solid-state drives are used for load-balancing and all frequently accessed content is copied to them, which both decreases the load and provides the optimal performance of all sites which load from the main drives. The lifespan of the latter will also be increased as there'll be significantly less reading and writing processes on them.
