Interesting. I wonder how fast you could theoretically read/write data stored in DNA. I could imagine it being used in place of tape storage, maybe, but it seems like it would be extremely fragile if you try to read through it at hard drive-speed. EDIT: according to some random website, the human genome contains 3.2GB, and it takes a cell 24 hours to divide. That works out to 37KB/s, which is not very promising.
