File Copy / Write Speed
Normally above 200 MB/s and up to 500 MB/s for recent advanced drives

The range can be anywhere from 50 – 120MB / s
Failure Rate
average time between failure rate of 2.0 M hours

Average time between failure rate of 1.5 M hours

HostPro is using only SSD for all hosted services to guarantee the best performance for both light websites and the high intense applications like SQL server databases that request High IO operations.
