Data (Star Trek)

Lieutenant Commander Data, played by Brent Spiner, is a character in the Star Trek fictional universe. An android, he served as the second officer and chief of operations on the USS Enterprise-D and the USS Enterprise-E. Data appeared throughout the ' television series and in later movies.

Specifications

Data was composed of 24.6 kilograms of tripolymer composites, 11.8 kilograms of molybdenum-cobalt alloys and 1.3 kilograms of bioplast sheeting (TNG: "The Most Toys"). Data's upper spinal support was a polyalloy designed for extreme stress; his skull was composed of cortenide and duranium ("The Chase"). Data was built with an ultimate storage capacity of 800 quadrillion bits (approximately 88 petabytes). At the onset, Data was constructed with a total linear computational speed rated at 60 trillion operations per second ("The Measure of a Man"); however, through bidirectional sequencing (which compensated for signal degradation) and conversion of his main interlink sequencer to asynchronous operation, Data's computational speed was thereafter no longer limited by the physical separation of his postronic links and, thus, became unlimited ("The Quality of Life").
