There is a drive present. The term drive refers to a storage device and the prefix describes the medium used:
Tape Drive - uses a flexible strip that resembles a spool of tape as a storage medium.
Floppy Drive - uses a flexible disk shaped storage medium.
Hard Drive- uses a rigid disk shaped storage medium.
Solid State Drive - uses non volatile memory chips as a storage medium.
Ram Drive - uses volatile memory chips as a storage medium.

SSD  does not have any motors or drive's or drive shafts or disks.


The term should be renamed....Solid State Device.

vinceASPECT:
well thanks for the views and comments.

I suppose they must have naming conventions and common sense.

 Yes i guesse that a Floppy drive symbol will always be used for SAVE.

i sometimes think extra symbols could help.

Maybe for SSD.....they could add a symbol denoting that nothing ever MOVES inside this object.

thx

Vince.

An icon of a roll of duct tape?

vinceASPECT:
uh......i don't know what Symbol indicates that nothing moves inside an object.

For fragile they use the symbol showing a....... "half colored wine glass"....


maybe  they can use....a symbol of ...... "circular gears with cogs of different sizes....intertwined"  which indicates motion.......

but then a large....... X cross .......drawn through the cogs.....

That symbol would show the device does NOT contain any moving parts.

THx
