A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media that uses flash modules so as to store data. The SSDs are still relatively new and more pricey compared to standard hard disk drives (HDD), yet they are faster, so they are quite often used for Operating Systems and applications on both PCs and servers. An SSD is recommended because it doesn't have spinning disks that restrict its speed and can even cause overheating as it could happen with an HDD. A lot of companies employ SSDs for caching purposes, so all of the content which is accessed more frequently will be held on this type of drives, while all the other content will be located on ordinary HDDs. The main reason to use such a setup is to balance the cost and overall performance of their hosting platform and to minimize the load on the HDDs resulting from countless reading and writing processes.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Website Hosting

Thus, any content you upload to your cloud website hosting account will be reachable very fast. In order to boost the performance of the websites hosted on our end even further, we also use multiple SSDs which work exclusively as cache - our system stores frequently accessed content on them and updates it instantly. We take advantage of this kind of a configuration to make sure that multi-media loaded sites will not affect the performance of the other Internet sites hosted on our platform and this way all other Internet sites can also take full advantage of the speed that the SSD drives provide. Furthermore, due to the fact that the load on the main drives is decreased, their lifespan shall be longer, that's one more warranty for the safety and stability of your info.
