This isn't a SSD. It's a 2TB HD right? This needs fixed!

Same as everyone say, it's an HDD, so why does it show up as an SSD instead?

it's fine . for some reason this site lists this as an SSD, it's not it's a 5400 rpm storage drive, it's not meant to be fast, it's meant to store stuff for a long time. If they fixed how the drive was classified (spinner, not ssd) it would rate much better
