Well, as I cruise around different sites looking for answers before I 
come to the forums I see it more as SSHD than I do SSD. It may not be 
technically correct but It seems that more people refer to it as a 
"Solid State Hard Drive" than a "Solid State Hard Disk" or "Solid State 
Drive". I believe that most people correctly deciphered the "meaning" 
even if not technically correct.

Must be an engineer.
