Description: Floppy drives, hard drives and SSD's could soon be replaced by DNA storage. But why is it so much better? And what are the challenges before we can use DNA as storage media? Let's take a look! Current storage techniques have 3 problems: they are not robust, have a low density and each media requires a special reader. DNA could solve all of these problems. It's very robust (it can easily last a few centuries), it's very high density (storing many petabytes of data per gram) and we already have readers for it. 🎬Take a look behind the scenes youtu.be/MTr2dfKtRFU 📚Sources This video is based on the work/research of others.
