Solid State Drives

[whitten]

Have all Data Centers moved to solid state drives? I hear they have a more efficient data writing and retrieval process. Isn't that a good thing for Data Center's especially when speed is of concern?

The arrival of the Smart SSD server ought to serve as a pretty strong indicator that the hosting company is seeing a demand for hosting products built around SSD. hosting providers might consider it an indicator that hard drive performance is an in-demand feature for both dedicated and virtual servers.

Some clients have moved to SSD but not all. SSD are still too expensive to deploy in a data center. Some data centers have bot instances and they use them vice versa i.e os installation and data base or database and OS it just depends whjat the client wants to set it up.
