Re: [DIYbio] Re: exome and genome data storage

A quick look at the datasets released by 1000genomes would suggest the storage requirements are not quite so onerous. Taking a look at a few examples I'm getting 50-100 GB per genome.

Sounds Cool! I know the only other  way would be LTO, cheap for storage but the drives cost a fortune. The newest generation LTO6 can hold 2.5Tb native and 5Tb compressed.

By one estimates, I read that the costs for storing full genome sequence data would be pricey (50 terabytes), although I read this article about a new optical disc that may be released in 2015 which will store 1-15 terabytes of capacity. I'm not sure what media formats genomic sequencing services use, but blu-ray discs costs about about $1/BD-R and make exome data storage relatively affordable. It's not unlikely that the price of TB optical discs will cost $4-5 dollars in 2018. A full genome sequence would likely benefit from something like the above link, because 4TB hard-drives aren't inexpensive or lightweight.
