Reached the minimum speed for viability

Microsoft making some headway, working with the University of Washington's Molecular Information Systems Laboratory, or MISL in creating a nanoscale DNA storage writer.

The company announced in a new research paper the, which the research group expects to scale for a DNA write density of 25 x 10^6 sequences per square centimetre, or "three orders of magnitude" (1,000x) more tightly than before.

This is the first time Vole has achieved the minimum write speeds required for viable DNA storage.

Microsoft is one of the biggest players in cloud storage and is looking at DNA data storage to gain an advantage over the competition by using its unparalleled density, sustainability, and shelf life.

DNA can store an exabyte, or 1 billion gigabytes, per square inch -- an amount many magnitudes larger than what our current best storage method, Linear Type-Open (LTO) magnetic tape, can provide.
