SSD stands for "solid state drive".

That makes no sense. What is being driven?
I know it's from hard drive,. or floppy drive, where a disk was being spun.

@dneto Also, hard drives are solid too.

@dneto The charge pump that stuffs electrons into the floating gates?

Ha, that's good. But then anything that changes state would have a drive? Or a driver?

@dneto Not the case for SSDs, but could you have a solid state engine propelling a vehicle? Hmm, maglev trains...

Yes! That's a great example.
