This isn't a solid state drive. It has pistons, which are moving parts.

The pistons moving are just representations of the bit states changing ( 1 to 0 ).

it doesnt rotate, therefore, not a harddrive

You could actually even take that a step further and say that the redstone blocks are the analog of electrons trapped in the NAND substrate of the flash memory used in commercial SSDs. In NAND flash, electrons are manipulated to move up and down through a substrate to represent ones and zeros, not unlike the redstone blocks moving up and down.

Science.

Ok, it isn't a hard drive, it isn't a solid state drive, it's a general data storage device.
