| Data has an ultimate storage capacity of eight hundred quadrillion bits. His total linear computational speed has been rated at sixty trillion operations per second (from "Measure of a Man"). He was built by Dr. Noonien Soong, who was taught by Ira Graves ("The Schizoid Man"). He was born on February 2, 2336 on Omicron Theta Four, and was at SFA from 2341-2345. He has a brother, Lore (who died in "Descent II") and a daughter Lal (Lal, in an Indian language, means beloved, which was why the name was chosen). She was born, she lived, and was presumed dead in "The Offspring"). He and Tasha Yar were 'more than friends' ("The Naked Now") or as he said in "The Measure of a Man", "We were... intimate.". Data is left-handed (this is because Spiner is) and he aspires to be human. He resides on Deck 2, in room 3653. |
