Establishing Endurance and Data Retention Metrics in DNA Data Storage Systems

Learn about establishing endurance and data retention metrics for DNA data storage systems in this 50-minute technical presentation from the Storage Developer Conference 2023. Explore the DNA Data Storage Alliance's efforts to create standardized methods for verifying reliability claims in emerging multi-vendor DNA storage ecosystems. Dive into two key specifications under development: a standardized methodology for rating expected half-life and shelf life of various DNA preservation mechanisms, and a comprehensive labeling system for DNA media similar to FDA standards. Gain insights into the fundamental aspects of DNA data storage characterization, understand proposed stability evaluation methodologies, and discover how standardized media labeling can help optimize sequencing solutions. Delivered by David Landsman from Western Digital, master the essential knowledge needed to evaluate and compare different DNA storage container systems, from inert gas-filled stainless steel capsules to filter paper storage methods.
