Revolutionary Memory Card Uses DNA as Storage Medium but Comes at a High Price

Biomemory, a French startup, has developed a storage card that can store 1 KB of DNA for a fee of USD 1090. It claims that its DNA storage method offers benefits that could be worth the outlay and expects each of its 1 KB “DNA Cards” to last at least 150 years.

Biomemory also talks about a future “Biomemory Prime” storage setup capable of storing 100 Petabytes in data centers, slated for a 2026 release.

However, its currently existing tech takes days to read and write data. DNA tech has the potential to surpass the limits of binary computing, but Biomemory’s DNA Encode seems somewhat underwhelming.
