Er, no. It's not a "hard drive", it's a "hard *disk*", and that means
rotating media. The term you are after is SSD, for Solid State Drive,
which is an alternative storage medium to an HD.

It can either be an HD or an SSD, but not both.

I'm not just nit-picking to be a pain. When you are talking about
technical problems, it's very important to get the terminology right.
