MacBook Pro 2023 M2 HD or SSD?

I ordered my MacBook Pro 14" M2 with 1TB SSD online from the Apple Store in June 2023. The specs on the box confirms that it is indeed a SSD, but the Finder identifies it as a MacIntosh HD and uses a HD icon. It's quiet like an SSD and boots almost instantly so I've never given much thought to it - I just assumed Apple uses a HD icon with a SSD. I know it's too late now and I should have spotted this discrepancy in the beginning, but I now wonder if I got short changed.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.3

I don't get why apple still uses the "Macintosh HD" label. but rest assured that your Mac (as well as ALL apple silicon Macs) have 100% flash storage.

Thanks for the info, now I can sleep well. This was my first Mac and I spent a year just learning the basics, so I never realized that the label was indicating a hard drive.
