DNA memory

DNA-based memory, also known simply as DNA memory, is a set of technologies allowing for extreme density long-term data storage. Traditionally made of silica, there are several other materials in prominent use. Due to the massive data storage capacities, the capacity is measured in Hyuopa, with one Hyuopa being equivalent to 37 brontobytes. 
First conceived by Terran scientists in the 2080s, it was developed for commercial use in throughout the 2100s and independently discovered by Surben scientists in the 2230s. Although not as resilient as quartz memory and much more expensive than regular memory, DNA memory has become by far the most prominent form of large scale data storage in the galaxy. Companies and governments throughout the galaxy use DNA memory to store and manage big data.
