*The storage device used most on the U.S.S. Enterprise is the Isolinear Optical Chip. Capable of great amounts of storage, isolinear chips are easily transported and durable. When formatted properly, the isolinear chip is able to be read from and written to by a wide variety of standard Starfleet devices, such as the tricorder and the PADD, as well as many of the ship's internal storage bays. *Source: Back of card
