Streamer Operating System Storage: SSD vs EEPROM?

Do streamers like Aurender and Innous store their operating systems on a SSD, whereas Lumin and Auralic use an EEPROM chip instead?

I just took my Innuos out of service but I could easily map it onto my network and see the files on the SSD. However, the SSd is optional and I think the operating system is in EProm or RAM. Same for my Grimm. Right now I'm having problems seeing the storage area but I can see the files associated with teh OS. I'll watch for answers from people with more experience here than I have.

If the OS isn't on the storage drive, it's probably stored on a small boot drive or NAND memory module.

The SSD's are for storing the music, not the OS. I have 30+ Years in IT and also own a N200 and love it. I am using two 5TB SSD's.
