Comment 12 for bug 281683

I'm not sure that it would do anything but confuse the user, Dimitrios. You and I obviously know whether we have an SSD, but I don't think most people are aware of anything about their hard drive but the storage space -- I mean, 5400-RPM hard drives continue to exist and are even sold with Intel Core processors! If the user, who could also be one who'd scarcely even heard of netbooks, further reducing the likelihood that they have a clue about the difference between magnetic and flash-based hard drives, had to answer questions like that, they might stall and think Ubuntu is too technical. Especially if they were moving from Windows which "just "works""...

I don't have any better suggestions, though.
