The SSD is not "disk1". The SSD is only for use by the software module (sfr, cxsc or ips type). (Only the "sfr" or FirePOWER Service module is currently sold.) You cannot browse the files or otherwise directly access the file system on the SSD.

disk1 is used to refer to an optional USB drive installed in the external slot on the rear panel. This is documented in the hardware installation guide here:
