Greetings!
Although it is Saturday and I’m working, I’m really pleased to tell you about some improvements to our recently launched UK Dedicated Servers. We’ve expanded the range and given you a greater choice in hardware options. We’ve also made SSD disks available in our UK range for the first time.
SSD disks are solid state, unlike typical mechanical disks with spinning platters. Without getting too technical, SSD disks offer faster performance than the typical SATA counterparts. They’re suited to applications / websites that have high i/o load like database driven sites (MySQL / PostgreSQL / MSSQL). Storage sizes are smaller and SSDs are more expensive to buy than their SATA counterparts, which is reflected in the pricing we charge. This said, our prices are still ultra cheap for all of our dedicateds and I’m sure you’ll find them a bargain compared to other hosts 🙂
The SSD drives we are using are the new enterprise Samsung 843 Pros. Other providers may try and include cheaper, lower quality SSDs but for us, it is important we provide an enterprise class drive with the longevity and reliability you expect from us at Jolt. For those interested in the nitty gritty tech specs, take a look at http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Samsung-SM843-Pro-Data-Center-Series-SSD-Review/
