+The '''Covenant storage device''', also known as the '''memory block''', is a type of data storage module used by the [[Covenant]]. One type of memory block consists of a vaguely brick-shaped chunk of a superdense material unknown to [[human]]s as of [[2552]].<ref name="kilo">'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 189'' (2003)</ref>
-The '''Covenant Storage Device''' is a carry size massive memory storage unit, that in the level [[Floodgate]] was thought to hold Cortana in it. After fighting through the level, the [[Master Chief]] manages to retrieve it. Later when it is repaired it turns out to only contain a message from [[Cortana]].
+Though humans do not fully understand the technology, they (or their [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] constructs) are still capable of retrieving the data from these devices.{{Ref/Reuse|kilo}}
-A '''[[Covenant]] Storage Device''' is a form of storage for Covenant information, similar to the [[UNSC|UNSC's]] own [[Data Crystal Chip|Data Crystal Chips]]. The block consists of a brick shaped-chunk of a superdense material unknown to [[human|human kind]]. Its' capacity is apparently unknown also, but it is likely to be prodigious.<ref name="kilo">[[Halo: The Flood]], page 189</ref>
+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>
-Though Humans do not fully understand the technology, they are still capable of retrieving the data from these devices, or at least their [[AI]] constructs can.<ref name="kilo"/>
+==Trivia==
+In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', these devices can be seen on the sides of some [[Covenant supply case]]s.
