emerged as a breakthrough storage alternative.
Breakthrough alternative my ass. This is basic research.
For example the writing speed into this "storage", it is still as slow as a little child's handwriting.

I'm just imagining someone waiting ~36 hours for their e.coli culture to grow enough to produce a signal... and finally download their MLP fanfic.
All I want is to have a future advanced archeology mission discovery my MLP fanfics
I'm imagining a whole religion being created centred around my little pony because the fanfics that were dug up were completely misinterpreted.
Me too!
thunderous speed in the range of minutes per residue (not every aminoacid can be used and what they're printing is dna, not proteins so multiply it 3x. they're encoding 3 bits per aminoacid, but there's overhead, error correction and structural requirements that make data density lower than 1 bit per nucleobase)
Honey, I ate the family photos to bulk up.
Mmmm, edible USB sticks 🤤
And minutes of data integrity, right?
We had a 2 hours blackout and the -80 freezer got warm.
I hope you got some backups of your backup.
