This idiot knows nothing about hard drives. Also he fails to take into account that in order to preserve the DNA data, it has to be kept frozen. Keeping data at a frozen temperature for 5000 years is not something that is going to happen. All these DNA drives will need to be stored in Antarctica.
not with global warming thats for sure

No, read the article. They encapsulated the DNA in a shell of silica so it is protected from interacting with the environment and won’t degrade.
