A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media which uses flash modules to store data. The solid-state drives are still relatively new and more expensive compared to classic hard disk drives (HDD), but they're faster, so they are often employed for Operating Systems and apps on both PCs and web servers. An SSD is recommended as it does not have spinning disks that limit its speed and may even cause overheating as it may happen with an HDD. Lots of companies employ SSDs for caching purposes, so all site content which is accessed more frequently will be kept on this type of drives, while all the other content will be located on conventional HDDs. The reason to use this kind of a setup is to balance the cost and overall performance of their web hosting platform and to reduce the load on the HDDs caused by numerous reading and writing processes.
