Forward-looking: Companies and research institutions have been exploring DNA as a potential "storage system" for archiving digital data for a long time. A new approach is now emerging, offering additional financial incentives by eliminating the need for complex and expensive lab-created DNA strands from scratch. This novel variation in the field shows promise in terms of cost-effectiveness and simplicity.
The Samsung 980 is a PCIe 3.0 SSD with speeds up to 3,500MB/s, while the 980 Pro is PCIe 4.0 capable, with speeds up to 7,000MB/s. Both arrive with 600 TBW of endurance. Also worth mentioning, the 970 Evo Plus 2TB is down to $95.
Gigabytes' Aorus 10000 is the first PCIe 5.0 SSD and, as expected, the speeds are nothing less than amazing. You'll need the latest hardware to take advantage of it though, and look at that gargantuan passive heatsink.
