Abstract

In this research study, we aimed to investigate whether D.N.A data storage can meet up to all the expectations that were set by its ability to change the future of computing. Basically, in D.N.A data storage a huge amount of data can be stored in an incredibly small space. It was estimated that around 15 ZB (Zettabyte) or the whole internet can be stored within a 44ml glass. Data stored in the D.N.A can last over a span of 500 years (half-life). It can replace the traditional storage drives (magnetic, optical, SSD) in large data centers. We will be surveying on how the whole procedure is carried out, what are the benefits, constrains and scope of it in near future. The whole survey is presented as a summation of multiple research paper released earlier and gets a suitable conclusion.
