What you're describing is a pretty niche requirement, as 1GB isn't enough to store much of anything these days (and 64MB?). They do make the Compute Module, which is available with 8, 16, or 32 GB of onboard storage.

A quality portable SSD attached via USB (and not relying on a SATA dongle) works great. A good one will cost you at least as much as the Pi board itself, which sometimes rubs people the wrong way.
