The guy is not wrong. I have dozens of HDDs but he's talking about an actual hard drive. I also have a wife, 3 1/2 kids and my dog just died. I've seen some shit.

Hard drives are going to be one of those in between things that Gen x/millennials will understand, but were already obsolete by the time Gen z rolled around.
Drag thinks solid state drives are drives and they're hard.
Hi I'm technically a Zoomer, I grew up with HDDs, hybrids and 32Gb SSDs. I'm just about 30 :)
I’m confused, I call both HDDs and SSDs hard drives or disks. What’s the non-obsolete term?
HDD is hard disk drive. SSD is solid-state drive. Though I still use the term "hard drive" to refer to both of them.
I know what the acronyms mean. But I refer to them both as hard drive.
HDD mean Hard drive, SSD mean Solid State Drive;
The joke is about HDD not being used which is wrong
I know what the acronyms mean. But I refer to them both as hard drive.
I'm guessing cloud?
hard drives are still relevant for bulk storage
True, but most consumers aren't doing bulk storage. Most people just have cell phone and laptop
you must find really boring people
Hold the fuck up, did you just acknowledge the existence Gen X?
Gotta keep them on their toes.
I'm always on my toes. My toes hurt. Please stop abusing my toes

puts megablox under SpaceNoode's toes
Joke's on you, I've accepted Mega Bloks because they had the Star Trek license back in the day
Fuck. What do we have left? Lincoln Logs? Tinker Toys?
Literal caltrops?
Well, people like to say "check their hard drives" when referring to pedos, so the word itself isn't lost yet. But there might be some other Gen Z's who don't actually know what that is considering we were raised with Chromebooks...
