Hi everyone,

I have a question for Web hosting and VPS providers, It's about SSD drives.
Firstly, Do your Web Hosting use SSD drives?
Second, does upgrading to SSD drives improve performance?

Please share me valuable answers

SSD's drives use non-volatile memory to store information. SSD hosting will ripple through every layer of your site – file access, database queries, down to usability. There are many web hosting providers which allow SSD drives like inmotion hosting.
 
An SSD Drive will in no-doubt increase the speeds of your website, you just need to keep in mind that in most circumstances the cost-to-performance ratio is not necessary. Unless you are running transactions on your website that are excessive on disk i/o, you really won't notice too much of a difference.

The main benefit come in if you have a database intensive site. SSD's will not make much difference in serving static files, but is much faster for database queries.
