Their analysis assumes one byte of storage manufactured in a year represents one byte of data stored in that year, which is not the case (see my 2016 post Where Did All Those Bits Go? Jon Trantham's presentation described Seagate's work on robots, similar to tape robots and the Blu-Ray robots developed by Facebook, but containing hard disk cartridges descended from those we studied in 2008's Predicting the Archival Life of Removable Hard Disk Drives. Julian Morley reported on Stanford's transition from in-house tape to cloud storage, with important cost data. I've been writing enthusiastically about the long-term potential, but skeptically about the medium-term future, of DNA as an archival storage medium for more than seven years.	./cache/blog-dshr-org-979.html	./txt/blog-dshr-org-979.txt
