Giving it a fancy name does not hide the fact it would be much better to replace the HDD with an SSD the same size. Typical Apple - marketing over substance.
Well to be fair they rolled these out back when SSDs were much more expensive and typically you could choose to pay extra for a real SSD.
2019? Even if that was the last year for it, it should've been replaced by SSD years earlier. Small SSDs for caching made sense in ~2011, but not much later.
