A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media which uses flash modules in order to store data. The SSDs remain fairly new and more expensive than the standard hard disk drives (HDD), however they are faster, so they are frequently employed for Operating Systems and applications on both desktops and servers. An SSD is recommended as it does not have spinning disks that limit its speed and could cause overheating like it could happen with an HDD. Lots of companies work with SSDs for caching purposes, so all website content which is accessed more frequently will be stored on this kind of drives, while all other content will be kept on regular HDDs. The reason to use this kind of a configuration is to balance the price and overall performance of their hosting platform and to lower the load on the HDDs caused by countless reading and writing processes.
