But on the other hand.

Although this technology is quite promising, it also has significant limitations.

The first issue is cost.

Generally speaking,

The bases of DNA—A, G, C, and T—cost $0.5 to $1 each, which is about 3 to 6 Huaxia Coins.

Currently, storing a single movie takes several months on average—much longer than a computer hardware cycle.

At present, the most cutting-edge team in this field is led by Erlich at Yale University. Not long ago, they encoded an operating system called movie 1.

This OS not only runs smoothly, but you can even play minesweeper on it.

All in all,

This isn't a technology that came out of nowhere—there's a certain foundation and feasibility, and the general acceptance is not too difficult.
