Over the past decade, we have seen a significant increase in storage capabilities in commercial and consumer products. One of the biggest leaps forward is the NVMe SSD, especially in web hosting.
Normally when you purchase a web hosting plan whether it is shared or some form of VPS, you are typically going to be given an HDD as your storage medium. Unless of course, you upgrade to an NVMe for an additional charge.
So, what do you do? Stick with the HDD or upgrade to an NVMe? To answer that, let's talk about speeds. NVMe SSDs display throughputs at the rate of 32 GBps (gigabytes per second). Half a million IOPs are common and higher-end drives range up to 10 million IOPS. Making NVMe’s great for large data transfer.
Do I need an NVMe?
The transfer superiority of an NVMe doesn’t mean that it’s the best storage solution for everyone. Say you have a simple static website with low monthly traffic. A simple HDD would work perfectly fine for you as you don’t require a large I/O from an NVMe. Now, if you have a large database-driven web app, e-commerce sites, large WordPress installations, then an NVMe can be greatly beneficial for you.
NVMe SSDs can make a drastic change in your web hosting service. Don’t pay an arm and a leg for NVMe hosting.
