The Ram memory (96mb) is only ever used for user sampled sounds or user sounds created by other users in sets you have loaded. Ram is not used at all for edited styles or edited factory sounds. So you must have quite a few of your own sampled sounds or loaded sets with custom sounds or drum kits.
When you save a backup of your custom sounds or midis or mp3s these will be saved to HD (or removable USB).
I'm not sure of the memory configuration of the Pa600 but I did post the following info about the Pa3x a little while back:
"The memory configuration in the Korgs takes a while to get your head around. There are actually 4 types of memory on board.
1) Factory ROM memory - unknown size (probably around 500mb) and is used to store the factory sampled sounds. This memory cant be modified by the user.
2) User Flash memory. Used to store user adjusted sounds and styles. This memory does not contain any "sounds" as such but only parameters that will adjust the sounds or styles. So while you might edit a factory sound and store your settings in a User Bank all you are really doing is storing a few parameters that determine how the sound or style is delivered. You will know when you run out of this memory because you wont have any User Banks left to use. For the sake of completeness I should mention also that the factory sound and style Settings are also stored in this type of memory but are safely locked unless you go to Global preferences and unlock (not recommended).
3) HD memory (which in the case of the 61 key model is actually an internal USB memory stick.) For the 76 key model this will be huge and you could never fill it up unless you have 100,000 mp3s and 1,000's of copies of backups. Even for the 61 key model that ships with 4GB USB you can still fit around 300 mp3s and a couple of dozen backups. It would be very difficult to use up all this memory with midi files because they use far less than mp3s. The operating system and other necessary files do actually use about 2.5gb of the 4gb which only leaves about 1.5gb free. I have replaced my internal 4gb USB with a 32GB USB to give me plenty of room. (Warning - don't attempt this unless you know what you are doing and get a bit more advice). Even with 300 midis and dozens of mp3s and backups (including sampled sounds) I find I am still only using about 4gb all up.
4) Ram Memory. The units ships with 128mb and is upgradeable to 256mb.
This is volatile "hot" memory that is used for User Sampled PCM sounds. Normally anything in Ram is lost when you turn off your device but the Pa3x has a clever battery backup system to keep the Ram "on" even when the keyboard is turned off. This makes boot up time much shorter if you have sampled sounds on board but will make no difference at all if you don't. If the battery runs out or low because you have unplugged your Pa3x for a few days, the sounds are not lost - they are backed up in your HD/internal USB and it will just take longer to boot up."

Korg Pa600 has 1.2GB space Mass Storage, which can be access on PC via USB Cable, also same space is accessible by Korg Pa600.
They not saying what kinda of storage is, could be SSD or HHD.
1.2 GB is plenty to storage sets, midi and sounds.
This is only storage, same like USB Drive, from there has to be load first to instrument before use, but advantage is, is always with you, USB Drive can be damage, stolen of lost.
