Memory cards in the listings are rated for 4K video capture (U3/V30 or U1/Class 10), which indicates suitability for sustained 4K recording and higher write performance. Console listings call out an "Ultra-High Speed SSD" to advertise near-instant game load times. In short: look for U3/V30 or Class 10 on cards for 4K recording and the "Ultra-High Speed SSD" label for faster console load performance.

The internal NVMe entry is described as an M.2 2280 form factor using PCIe Gen 5.0 x4 (PCIe Gen5), with very high sequential read/write performance listed in the product details.

Capacities shown include 128GB and 256GB memory/flash cards, 1TB and 2TB external SSDs, and internal NVMe drives described as available up to 4TB.

The listings include microSD and SD memory cards, M.2 (2280) internal NVMe drives, and external portable SSDs that connect via USB (products reference USB-A and USB 3.x). Some external drives are described as SSD (SATA) connected over USB.

Memory cards list read speeds up to about 150–200 MB/s and write speeds up to about 90 MB/s. External/portable SSDs show transfer rates in the ~300–400 MB/s range. The PCIe Gen5 NVMe internal drive lists very high sequential speeds (reads up to about 14,900 MB/s and writes up to about 14,000 MB/s) in the product details.

The results include microSD and SD flash memory cards, internal M.2 NVMe SSDs, and external portable SSDs (some described as SATA-based drives used over USB).

Some portable SSDs advertise hardware-based 256-bit AES XTS encryption, onboard keypad PIN authentication, on-the-fly encryption, tamper protection (hardened epoxy and locked firmware), and FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validation.

The external SSDs reference USB connections (listed as USB-A and USB 3.x/USB 3.0 or 3.1). Product text lists maximum transfer rates in the roughly 300 MB/s (read) and 400 MB/s (write) range for the USB-connected portable SSDs.

Refurbished consoles are labeled as "manufacturer refurbished" or "refurbished," described as inspected (a 65-point inspection is mentioned) and possibly shipped in aftermarket or generic packaging. Included items are listed as the console, a power cord/supply cord, and a like-new controller (color may vary).
