How can DNA be used to store information?

I heard that DNA could be used as the smallest flash drive possible with a much larger storage capability than anything else we have today, if that is the case, how does that work? is it always human DNA?

1,000,000,000 tb (2 bits per nucleotide) of data can be stored in 1g of DNA, whereas a flash drive holds 4gb of data on average.
