SSD vs HDD for Hosting: When Each Makes Sense
Compare SSD and HDD in servers: I/O, latency, cost, and which workloads benefit from each.

SSDs deliver much higher IOPS and lower latency than HDDs, which helps databases and applications that do lots of random I/O. HDDs still make sense for bulk or archival storage where throughput matters more than latency. In tier-III data centers, both are deployed with redundancy.
