They were often featured onboard nanotech processors to aid in memory access and with a maximum capacity of 2.15 kiloquads. Though normally easily corrupted, chips may be coated with a layer of clear plastic for protection in environments more hostile than a computer core without affecting read and write capabilities; such ruggedized chips are commonly used in [[tricorder]]s, [[PADD]]s, and other handheld devices with isolinear chip drives.
