I got a Life Vault USB drive and it claims to be stable for 100 years. Catch is storage space is on the low side. If its raw DNA, how much space would one really need for their personal DNA repo? Are you talking about long term, large scale needs or enough to burn onto a few redundant bluray disks?

Subject: [DIYbio] Longterm genomic Data storage
I'm kind of curious as to how companies store DNA seq data for
archival purposes. The company I work at has local storage, but
there's always issues like running out of space on the HDDs. There's
only so much HDDs you can buy before you need to expand the server
room. So what's done with old data, in case there is a need to dig it
out 3-5 years later? I heard most companies just limit the holding
time for raw data for 6 months to a year.
