File storage size varies, but most implants* and all the rings can easily store a number seed phrases easily.
The most common size would be 1KB for implants and rings
There are some 8KB implant options
there are also larger options 16, 32, maybe even a 64??? in the FlexSecure ???
But in reality, your best option would be in the form of implants.
In my opinion, This narrows you choices down to 2
Those will be determined by your knowlege
The FlexSecure
or ApexFlex
They are basically identical, ( Same P71 chip) but brief differences:
FlexSecure - Untethered, needs some programming knowledge to setup / use
ApexFlex - Tethered to Fidesmo, but this means it is more Plug and play.
On them, to finally answer your crypto question, you can easily store the Pharses as I mentioned, but also, have a look at satochip.io
There are applets for Satochip for the ApexFlex
I am only guessing, but these SHOULD??? be able to be manually deployed to the FlexSecure
@StarGate01 may be able to confirm
In the meantime, check out The FlexSecure Git
# flexSecure vs. Apex Flex
Please read the [*Introduction to the JavaCard Ecosystem*](https://github.com/DangerousThings/flexSecure-applets/blob/master/docs/1-technology.md) first, to understand the technical differences.
## Target Audience
If you want an easy-to-use implant with an existing ecosystem, a mobile app-store and the potential payment functionality in the future, then the [Apex Flex](https://dngr.us/apex-flex) is for you.
If you want full offline control over your hardware and keys, the maximum possible storage and memory, and are not afraid of using the console and reading into the technical documentation, then the [flexSecure](https://dngr.us/flexsecure) is for you.
## The NXP P71 Chip
The specification of the chip used in the flexSecure and Apex Flex (with a differing configuration, see below) is as follows:
- Manufacturer: NXP Semiconductors
- Series: SmartMX3 Secure and Flexible Microcontroller
- Model: `P71D321`
- Operating system: `JCOP4`
- Software interface: `SCP02` GlobalPlatform `2.2.1` and `2.3` / Java Card `3.0.4` Classic and `3.0.5` Classic
- Variant: J3R200 (`200KB` EEPROM)

and this thread may answer some more questions
What are the differences truly? I get that there’s no fidesmo support on the flexsecure but I’m not entirely sure what that means. I want to be able to do OTP and NAK but I don’t know which implant is better for me.
