How do you use Data Crystals to purchase something?
I'm very new to gaming and I've got a lot of data crystals but when I visit a vendor my purchases are automatically deducted from my credits and I see no option to pay with crystals instead. What do you have to do in order to pay with data crystals?
Best Answer
You can only spend data crystals at certain vendors. For instance, this Reddit post contains more detail about vendors on Odessen that accept them:
There are vendors on Oddessan(or however you spell that) that sell stuff for them. One vendor in the Underworld section of the command bunker sells decorations, pets, and a certain Zakuulian group's armor.
A second vendor in the cantina on that planet, sells companion gifts and those crate thingies you turn in to the 4 main contacts. This vendor is right by the entrance, leaning up against a jukebox thing.

Can crystals be used to store data?
Coin-sized slivers of glass like this one can store up to 360 terabytes of data for billions of years, Mashable reports. The storage devices, nicknamed "superman memory crystals," consist of nanoscale dots embedded by a laser in layers of quartz.How do you store information on a crystal?
The scientists use a sophisticated laser to encode the information into minuscule formations, known as nanostructures, inside fused quartz. The structures alter the way light travels through the glass, allowing the data to be read by special optical devices.How do we use crystals in technology?

This means they can be used next to computers and other devices to reduce radiation and any negativity that could arise from using the devices, like stress and anxiety. Examples include Sodalite, Tourmaline and Rose Quartz.What devices use crystals?

Answer 2
The main place for characters to spend crystals is on the Fleet, where you go after completing the first planet. In the outermost ring of the Supplies area you will find vendors selling mods at different levels — buy the highest level mods you can use (equal to your level or lower) to slot into Moddable/Custom gear. This is the best way to gear up with minimal effort. You can get moddable gear from drops, a level 8 vendor in that area, the Cartel Market, or the GTN.
At endgame, there are also some crystal gear vendors in that area on the opposite side. Such vendors are also found on Odessen as mentioned in the other answer, with other vendors in Section X, the Black Hole, and Oricon.
