*'''Sega CD Model 1''': Original model, constructed as a base for the [[Sega Mega Drive|Mega Drive]] Model 1, although it is compatible with the Model 2 as well. The Model 1 has an automated CD tray, although this is prone to hardware failure.

*'''Sega CD Model 2''': Revised model constructed for increased compatibility with the Mega Drive/Sega Genesis Model 2, although it is compatible with the Model 1 as well. This model relocates the CD-drive from underneath the console to the console's side, and features a spring-loaded lid rather than an automated CD tray, greatly increasing its hardware reliability.

*'''Sega CDX''': A combined, semi-portable Mega Drive & Sega CD unit called the '''Genesis CDX''' in North America and the '''Multi-Mega''' in Japan and Europe. This unit retailed at a lower price than the individual Mega Drive and Sega CD units together, but is incompatible with some games. The CDX features a small LCD screen that, when the unit is used to play audio CDs, displays the current track being played. The CDX can be used as a standalone CD player powered by 2 AA batteries, but must use an AC adapter when being used to play video games. This was bundled with ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD]]'', ''Sega Classics Arcade Collection'', and the Sega CD version of ''Ecco the Dolphin''.

*'''Mega-CD Karaoke''': When combined with the Sega CD and Mega Drive, this add-on creates a karaoke machine that is capable of both lyrics and video display. The peripheral features two microphone aux ports along with various knobs and buttons that can add different effects, such as echo, pitch shifting, and key changes. The Mega-CD Karaoke was released exclusively in Japan on 18 November 1992 for ¥19800.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Mega-CD Karaoke|url=https://sega.jp/fb/segahard/mcd/karaoke.html|publisher=[[Sega]]|language=Japanese}}</ref>
