Businesses growing with the superfast speed expect enhanced performance, and speed for their substantial websites. For that inarguably, dedicated server hosting sounds a prudent solution. However, with the time, as the website grows, requirements take a stretch, demanding more RAM, bandwidth, and storage space. Despite, incorporating the perquisites, the issues such as highest latency time, slow performance remains unresolved for many to handle large influxes of traffic. Do you know why even after the up gradation of resources, the speed remains a concern?
Let’s answer before we exceed our diameter:
Approximately, major number of dedicated server uses hard disk drives where the data is stored in rotating magnetic disks. At times, HDD are not able to handle the heavy loaded websites that attracts high traffic volume. This occurs due to the fact, when a visitor visits the website to retrieve some information; a read/write head floats above the spinning magnetic platter reading and writing data. A head moves to one location to other in one time, hence moving to different location to fetch data takes few milliseconds, hence delay in response. Therefore, the faster the platter spins, the faster an HDD can perform.
SSD Fosters Accelerated Speeds and Performance
Solid State Drives (SSD) are the most sophisticated version of USB drives, storing data or information in microchips. Unlike HDDs, SSDs doesn’t use a mechanical arm with a read/write head to move around and access data on a storage platter – one of the major attributes that make SSD to work faster. Another facet of a solid state drive is that leverages business as it employs a NAND based flash memory, which possesses an ability to retain data without power. On response basis, SSDs are much faster than HDDs.
- Fast access to the stored data
- Reduced website loading time
- Enhanced data throughput
- Less power consumption and heat generation
- Highly durable
On the top of it, SSDs are less prone to failure than hard disk drives as they have no mechanical and moving parts. However, like every coin has its twain faces, SSDs have some exceptions as well. First, Solid State Drives are expensive than Hard Disk Drives, and the another one is — it does not gives any warning before it fails, thus giving no chance for prevention’s.
Using SSDs for meeting dedicated hosting demands will evidently enhance website performance, giving a wide radius to thrive.
