Does notes (bits, kb, mb, gb) weigh anything?

i be just sitting here at my laptop and started to come up with and came up next to this wierd question. I be wondering if data have any physical weight ?


Answer:

Yes it does. There be an article in a recent Discover Magazine. They figure what all the atoms weigh that made up the data on the internet and done up with roughly speaking 0.2 millionths of an ounce. Here is the article:

No
the components of a hard disk don't change regardless of how much capacity the disk have, so the answer is 'no'.
Absolutely Not!!!
No. Think of it this way: you enjoy a pile of pebbles sitting on the floor. You can organize them into pattern to encode information (store data), but that doesn't change the solidity of the pebbles. Hard disks are similar, only they reorganize tiny regions of metal, and flash drives store information by flipping switches.
i would say it would weigh something

but it would be simalr to memory surrounded by our brain

to make it simple, some small flash drives can store lik 100 GB memory while the big rock-hard drives weighing 10 times more weigs indistinguishable

so i would say it doesnt weigh anything or its probably enormously negligible if we compare it surrounded by grams or pounds
Well the actual hardrive has solidity but that stuff can not get heavier from downloading stuff onto it
