Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology were able to demonstrate that it is possible to store up to 455 exabytes (EB) of data in a strand of DNA.
This means that all of the world’s data could be stored in something that’s the size of a tiny spice size silver teaspoon.

PS:
Also worth noting is that when stored at subzero temperatures, this DNA data strand, can can have a shelf life of around a million years.
To put that in perspective think of the Earth before any inkling of what humans, hairy or not, could ever appear on the face of it…
