A '''data crystal chip''' is a file storage and transfer device akin to 21st-century memory cards. Data crystal chips are often used to store data that cannot be sent via wireless transmissions because of the data's sensitive or complex nature. They are used by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] to store navigation data, weapons data, and strategic and tactical intelligence. Data crystal chips can also be used to house the [[Riemann matrix]] of an [[artificial intelligence]] construct, even one of starship-grade.

==Trivia==

Though [[Cortana]]'s data crystal chip is featured prominently in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Halo 3]]'', and ''[[Halo 4]]'', ~~though~~ her method of transfer varies between each game. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', Cortana's matrix is transferred only when the chip is directly inserted into an access port. In ''Halo 2'', Cortana is capable of transferring from the MJOLNIR Mark VI's gauntlets to any electronic system in close proximity without using the chip. The chip returns in ''Halo 3'', though Cortana is seen transferring herself remotely to and from the device, much as she did via the suit's gauntlets in ''Halo 2''. ''Halo 4'' reintroduces the direct-insertion system from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', despite Cortana having upgraded the suit since the events of ''Halo 3''.
