We spoke almost a year ago: What has changed since then for Biomemory and DNA storage in general?
Since our last conversation, Biomemory has made significant strides in DNA data storage.
A more advanced version, expected in 2030, will surpass exabyte-scale storage.
Recently, we launched a B2C product to demonstrate the capabilities and commercial readiness of our technology.
Our laboratory has tripled in size, attracting new talent and forging strategic partnerships within the industry.
The DNA Card, our inaugural product, is now finalized and on the market.
The field of DNA Data Storage itself is evolving rapidly.
Traditional chemical and enzymatic synthesis methods are giving way to block synthesis approaches, like ours at Biomemory.
In sequencing, real-time technologies now eliminate the need for hour-long waits to start DNA reading.
Complementing biological Nanopore technologies are Solid State Nanopores from the semiconductor sector.
This week, you announced a DNA card that has a capacity of 1KB.
Why now and why with this capacity ?
Our goal is to catalyze progress in the field, inspiring other companies to follow suit.
We’ve seen considerable interest from individuals eager for this technology to be available for personal use.
Whats the next step for Biomemory and this card?
The DNA Card, while an innovative preservation medium, is just one aspect of our broader vision.
Beyond this, we are actively developing data storage arrays for use in data centers.
To facilitate this, we have engaged with key players in the data storage industry to initiate collaborative efforts.
What are your expectations?
Biomemory is, indeed, a proud member of this alliance.
Youre planning to release 100PB DNA cards in 2026.
Thats just three years from now.
What sort of performance and pricing would we be looking at?
$1 per TB prices?
Biomemory Prime will boast an impressive capacity of up to 100 petabytes.
The initial pricing is projected to be around $150 per terabyte.
Moreover, we’re not stopping there.
Our team is already working towards significantly reducing the cost.
By 2030, we aim to bring the price down to as low as $1 per terabyte.
It’s an exciting prospect, offering sustainable, long-term storage at an increasingly accessible price point.
$150 per TB seems very high and the speed of 3MB/s seems very, very slow.
Can you elaborate further?
