  • If my quick maths has the correct assumptions, then we can store 225 Petabytes of data in the balls.

    Human sperm contains about 3 million base pairs (haploid genome).
    Each base pair of DNA (A, C, G, T) is encodable with 2 bits.
    3 million * 2 bits / 8 (to convert to bytes) = 750 MB.
    Using a rough and imprecise average of 300 million sperm cells stored in testicles, we get:
    300 million * 750 MB = 225 PB.

    Plenty of space for your savegame data!
