I'm curious how their brains lay down memories. I would imagine he probably does as I don't think there is a huge variation in content to be honest...

Some humans are capable of recalling every detail of their lives. That is an incredible amount of information that a human brain can store.

I don't suppose a 200yrs 'ordinary' old human would run into any problems with memory storage.

    I don't remember every single detail, but I have clear memories from before I could walk, like watching Wizard of Oz on VHS and not being able to walk away even though I was tired of watching it. My wife says she doesn't remember anything before about age 5.

    I think that for the case of the Turtle - early childhood memories would actually have a larger impression as everything about them is new making them have a bigger imprint where as there mid 80s - 150s range is probably one giant blur of repetition.

    Imagine being a software developer for 200 years? Oof you would be such a crank/skeptic having to deal with all the tech changeover

    That is entirely not true - no one remembers every detail of their life. As for the ones who do, you can do a fairly good impression thereof by simulating reliable synesthetic associations.
