As minuscule as it may be, does the transfer of more data on a storage device affect the weight? |
|
No. Files are stored on hard drives as ones and zeros. When you buy a hard drive, if is filled with zeros. As you write data on the hard drive, it either stays a zero or becomes a one. Zeros and ones weight the same, so the hard drive does not get heavier as you add data to it. |
|
No way, theres no storage device there I know that do that... |
|
Certain companies ( optimus inventors) are working on an inflating flash drive that gets bigger as it fills up, so soon, Very soon. |
|
No, it doesn't make the storage device physically heavier. This does give me an idea for a novelty flash drive though. |
|
I have done some research on the matter and from what i know as some one majoring in computer engineering and what i have just learned that yes. flash memory will do that, so small it is unnoticeable flash memory works on an array of capacitors charged = 1 discharged = 0 because a charged capacitor contains more electrons it contains more matter and thus more mass. generically no it does not do that, but if you wish to have the most correct answer yes it does. |
|
I don't believe so but one that does this may be invented in future |
|
Of course it does! It also gain a bit of volume when you fill it up. You can even increase it's capacity by loosening some screws, but I don't recommend to do that as you may void the warranty. |
