In recent times, SSD has gained popularity as a data storage technology and is widely popular in web hosting too. Let us quickly understand what SSD is, its benefits and should you opt for SSD-based hosting.
What is SSD?
SSD stands for Solid-State Drive. SSD has no moving parts. On the contrary, it uses flash memory to store data onto the drive. Owing to this, your drive doesn’t heat up, is able to read/write data at a faster rate, as well as, consumes less energy as compared to HDD (Hard Disk Drive).
What are the benefits of SSD:
There are several reasons for you as a business to opt for SSD based web hosting. Here are the top 5 benefits of SSD:
- High Performance
In the SSD drive, the data is read directly from the storage area. Unlike HDD, there are no rotation heads or magnetic disks and hence the read/write rate of SSD drive is higher. This, in turn, improves the performance of SSD.
2. Hardware Reliability
SSD has no moving parts as there is no magnetic coating or read/write head. Hence, they are free of distortions. No moving parts also imply minimal breakage or wear out of the storage drive. Hence, SSDs are more reliable, as well as, efficient.
3. Faster Speed
SSD uses flash memory to store data thus, it performs 300% faster than HDD drive. These functions include Read/Write time, response time, file transfers, etc. Moreover, the time taken to boost SSD too is less as it takes barely 10-13 seconds.
4. Less Power Consumption
The average power drawn by SSD is less than 2W. This significantly reduces power consumption and saves energy, making SSD more environmentally friendly.

SSD offers better performance, low power consumption, blazing fast website loading speed and much more.
