* As I'm writing this during device development, these specs are subject to change.

** Whether or not the feature is available on Cardputer Zero Lite. If not, said feature is limited to Cardputer Zero.

*** While I could not find any max size in device's documentation (both from Raspberry Pi & M5Stack). As stated in RPi's getting started guide, 2TB should be a hard limit as more would exceed the limits of MBR.

**** 32GB is not a limit, it's just the size of the cards they decided to package with non-Lite models. As of 2026-05-14, the brand is unknown.
