A disk is a flat circle; subject in the form of a flat circle.
/ Wikipedia /
Despite the shape of the body in the form of a paralepide, we call the hard disk "disk". Because the
disk itself
is spinning inside :) There are also drives in which information is not ontologically stored on a hard (inflexible, hard) disk (flat circle), but in flash memory cells of one type or another. Some perverts continue to call such
drives "
solid-state hard drives " or simply "
solid-state drives ."
Imagine if this picture was written
Solid State Disk Drive (:

We must call a spade a spade.
"Solid State Drive" .
