A:Answer A hard drive is not a solid-state drive, but could be .
'solid state' means that particular function is filled by solid-state (integrated) circuitry.
"hard drive" means a computer's main storage of data.
a hard drive could be solid state, but also could be a memory disk, cassette tape, or something else entirely.
hard drive would be like 'water'. it could be water vapor, water, or ice.
'solid state' would be like 'something solid' (has not melted or vaporized, like ice, granite, stone, or brick).
Though I have a computer of this model, I do not know if the hard drive is solid state.
I doubt it, though.
A solid state hard drive would be typified by data retrieval without perceivable delay.
I have had to wait several minites for data to be retrieved on occasion.
