SSTable is stored on disk not memtable. Memtable is memory representation of data, which is on flush to create SSTable on disk.
This is the location where SSTable is stored https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/conf/cassandra.yaml#L71 Where as Commitlog which is back up (log) for memtable replaying store in https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/conf/cassandra.yaml#L75 location. Once the all memtable is flushed to disk, new commit log segment is created.
