To clarify what dknoll is talking about:

'sshd' is the reference command to the 'ssh daemon'.

To dknoll, SSHD for the Solid State Hybrid Disk, means that it has components of both drive systems, spinning platters and a functional amount of NAND for feequently used applications.

You could use it purely for it's SSD assuming the drive controller continues to function. Though that is a ridiculous proposal.

I understand what the device does and why they named it as they did. It's an awkward use of language, that's all I'm pointing out. I think 'Solid State Hybrid Disk' is a syntaxically incorrect name as it suggests the entire device is solid state when it is not. Hybrid State Disk perhaps?

[jimminy]

I read it as "Solid State Hybrid" -Disk.

Which when regarded under the conventional drives at the time it was announced being primarily HDD's it makes it more clear.

You have an HDD that is a hybrid with solid state components. Logically clean cut, imo.

[DKnoll]

I'm being super pedantic here, but see how you said hybrid before solid state in your third sentence when explaining it? That's basically what I just suggested would be a clearer name.

Likewise, I'm being pedantic.

Hybrid disk would be the generic term.

There has been work on liquid-state storage.

So Solid State becomes the adjective modifier for providing the classification of the type of Hybrid Disk.

You could in theory have a Liquid State Hybrid Disk, or a Liquid Solid State Hybrid Drive.
