Ah, alright. I think I was confused because in Sweden, the word hårddisk is often used to describe any kind of drive, including "SSD-hårddiskar" (also called "Solid State-hårddiskar") and sometimes "FLASH-hårddiskar".
Is there a good word for words that have grown to mean something other than their original, literal meanings due to everyday use?
