A data stick is a data storage device that holds information from computers. Data sticks appear in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, providing both important and miscellaneous information.
Function
Data sticks are portable data storage devices that hold information, mostly emails. They are removable, and for use with computers or the OPSAT. Sam Fisher can retrieve these from computers when he uses them and they can also be found in satchels.
In Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Splinter Cell: Double Agent, computers could be accessed at a distance using the EEV, allowing the player to read and store emails via wifi connection.

Trivia
- Data Sticks are never actually physically seen, so it is unknown if they are USB flash drives, Memory Sticks or something else.
- In the very first mission in Pandora Tomorrow, Sam obtains a data stick from Douglas Shetland that resembles a Memory Stick or SD card. It was visible as he put it in his OPSAT.
- A similar item, the Dead Drop, can be found in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist. They contain no viewable infomation, but serve as point booster.
