Does a ‘full’ memory card weigh more?

413 views

So if you have an empty memory card compared to one which is full with say 64GB of data (or any other large amount). If you weighed them both on an incredibly sensitive scales, would there be a difference in the weight?

Essentially I’m asking does data/computer memory have any mass?

No. Semiconductor data storage consists of charge transfer…moving a surplus of electrons from one region of a material to another. The transistor arrangement is also complimentary in pairs, which means a logic one would have transistor A “on” and transistor B “off” and logic zero would be A “off” and B “on”.

The total number of electrons stays the same.
