It would be HD if it was hard drive.

Don't even try, that guy clearly gets off on being pedantic and hates to be wrong instead of trying to learn something new. Which is funny cause he didnt even know what HDD is short for.
Why are you starting a new thread. Join the existing or something instead. This has been addressed.
Of course I know what HDD means. I work in IT. I just shorted it because it's easier to understand, write, and say. I have already proved multiple times with multiple dictionaries that "Hard drive" is the same as "Hard disk drive".
Either way it doesn't matter, the point was that you shouldn't call SSDs HDDs.
