Still wanna smash open your piggybank for that oh so high tech Blue-ray bullshit?

Only thing they didn't mention was how much is costs to make 1 DVD.

Also if the protien would decay over time, from day one? Would you lose data slowly from the day you load it on there randomly? I dunno, seems like a good idea.

Part of the problem with magnetic media is also how to write / retreive it.

Its a major step forward if they can fit that much information into such a small space, but is ultimately worthless if they cant build a device with fine enough motions to take advantage of it.

Doesn't mention how fast it is tho. I know DVDs read/write at slower speeds then HDDs.

I wonder if you leave it in the cold (0 Celsius) is it gonna freeze the microbes and make 'em worthless?

It's prolly fragile as hell lol, Goldfish is right tho, they need a machine to manipulate the DVDs, and I can just imagine the wait time lol. 50 Teras is massive.
