Server with SATA Storage - Vilos - 09-03-2024
What are the main differences between servers with SATA disks and servers with SSDs, and when is it better to choose a server with SATA storage?
RE: Server with SATA Storage - Merten - 09-03-2024
Hi! The main difference between SATA and SSD drives lies in speed and cost. SATA drives are slower than SSDs because they use an older interface, while SSDs offer significantly faster performance.

However, SATA discs can be useful for tasks that do not require high speed data access or when budgets are limited. If you need more information about the different types of drives and their applications, you can find a continuation on the HostZealot website - https://www.hostzealot.com/servers/hdd-type-sata . This will give you an idea of how SATA drives can fit into your needs.
