Hello Ed,

I don't know without opening disassembling a laptop, I'm afraid. They're whatever 512 GB SSD Apple installed in their MacBook Pros as standard at that time (late 2011). However, they're fairly old now and I doubt the same model would still be manufactured, and more recent SSDs are likely to give much higher performance anyway.

Of course!

I'm using a 250 GB SSD strictly for saving caches and after loading several sample sets during a rebuild. was slight;y surprised at how relatively small these cache files are.
The size of an organ's cache is likely to be similar to the amount of memory that the organ occupies once loaded (which depends upon your rank options of course).
