Then why is my 5400 RPM HDD not an SSD?
Wikipedia:
> The term is also used for devices in which semiconductor electronics which have no moving parts replace devices with moving parts, such as the solid-state relay in which transistor switches are used in place of a moving-arm electromechanical relay, or the solid-state drive (SSD) a type of semiconductor memory used in computers to replace hard disk drives, which store data on a rotating disk.[6]
- dekhn 6y agoHard drives probably count as solid state, except the interior is filled with an inert gas, so they're really a mixed phase system. In short: neither the term definition nor usage is entirely consistent.
