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

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark popular with users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
