First off, I didn't downvote you. However, the comparison is wrong imho because disk storage is not simply about storing information. Disks also need fast read/write access, which DNA certainly doesn't have for us (for now?).

We are envisioning storage, a bunch of disconnected drives piled on top of each other is also not accessible for read/write access.
