The datacard was used to transfer and store large amounts of information. A group of datacards was referred to as a datapack.

R2-D2 carried a datacard containing the plans to the first Death Star that was given to him by Princess Leia.

Large libraries of datacards existed around the galaxy, holding enormous quantities of data. The largest was at Obroa-skai, before the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed the library.

During the Clone Wars, a group of clones were sent to Christophsis to retrieve a number of datapacks, containing vital information, before the Separatist forces, which had overrun the planet, could get their hands on them.

Datadiscs were small devices used to store and transfer information. Two large datadisc manufacturers were Corellia Digital and the Bay-Suwe Combine.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Datacards transfer and store data to and from datapads in the same way floppy disks and USB flash drives are used with computers. They can be used in the way a PDA reads secure digital (SD) cards.
