I wonder how that competes with the latest generation of Flash memory in terms of (physical) storage size and mass.

Though storage capacity is growing, it seems DNA still wins by some margin though

Flash memory has considerably better read/write speeds. It can also be read electronically instead of chemically. I don't think it makes sense to compare them.

It’s also error-prone. That being said, research in the area has been ongoing for years. For example, see [0].
