Does a hard drive weigh more when it is full?

Might need a molecular physicist to answer this question.

Wtf?

[asm]

It all depends what it is full of!

[jitBob]

Do you mean like if it's full of heavy metal mp3's?

[Archer]

If its full of zeros it wont way anything

[jitBob]

If its full of zeros it wont way anything

But then it loses it's "oneness" with the universe!

[Archer]

Just a thought can you actually fill something with nothing?...........

Yeah, but would it regain all of it's weight when you reformat?

[Archer]

it would depend............like if you were south of the border and had more south pole magnetised electrons on the drive then it would repel away from the earth that little bit more than if they were a majority of north pole electrons.

[King Grover]

it would probally weigh less and less every tiem you format, write, deleted, anyhting to it. so, the answer is no.

South of the Scottish border?

So, eventually you could reformat it into nothingness!
