The '''Covenant storage device''' is a form of storage for information used by the [[Covenant]], similar to the [[UNSC]]'s own [[data crystal chip]]s. The block consists of a brick shaped-chunk of a superdense material unknown to [[human]]s. Its capacity is apparently unknown as well, but it is likely to be numeral.<ref name="kilo">'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 189''</ref>

Though humans do not fully understand the technology, they are still capable of retrieving the data from these devices, or their [[AI]] constructs can at least.<ref name="kilo"/>

==Trivia==
*The Covenant storage device was thought to have held Cortana in it. After fighting through the level [[Floodgate]], the [[Master Chief]] manages to retrieve it in the in the infected ship. Later, when the device is repaired by [[343 Guilty Spark]], it turns out to only contain a message from [[Cortana]] while she was inside [[High Charity]].
*In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', these devices can be seen on the sides of some of the Covenant storage crates.

-While being held captive by the [[Gravemind]] in [[High Charity]], [[Cortana]] used a Covenant storage device to store a message aboard the Flood-controlled {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Indulgence of Conviction]]'' headed for [[Earth]]. Based on their cursory analysis, the [[Sangheili]] forces of the [[Fleet of Retribution]] thought the storage device held Cortana herself, but after [[John-117]] retrieved the device it turned out to only contain a recorded message.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref>
