This number (37.5 Mb) gets reported all of the time and it's very wrong. A single sperm has 3.5 billion base pairs of DNA in it. Since there are 4 possible bases, that means each position in DNA could store four bits of information. That gives 14 billion bits of information. Assuming 8 bits per byte, that 1.75 billion bytes of information or 1.63 Gb (at 1,073,741,824 bytes per gigabyte). That corresponds to roughly 43 times as much information as 37.5 Mb.

Like a USB stick it takes me at least three tries to insert it right.

No wonder downloading porn took so long back in the days of dial up modems!

Depending on position it could be a data upload or down load from the hard drive. Don't forget about back door access for some data.

I have to be that asshole who points out that 1,000 TB is a PB so you should have said 1.5875 PB.

But the new sperm from LG coming out next month contains four times as much.

And, I'm the asshole that has to chime in to say OP didn't really have to, though. They could've just as easily moved the decimal a bunch and stated it in yottabytes. There's no rule that says what SI prefix you have to use, convenient as it might be.

So people are just wasting information errywhere, in toilets, bushes pillows, sock, vaginas, anuses etc. Never thought of that. Redditors are such deep thinkers🧐
