What structure of DNA makes it uniquely qualified to function as an information carrier?

Molecular structure of DNA consists of Nucleotides that carry genetic information. However RNA also has nucleotides but it is not as stable as DNA. So, I think the stability of DNA structure is what "makes it uniquely qualified to function as information carrier".
