Do bits on a hard disk have weight Is the weight of 40 GB space on drive equal to a 80 GB space?

Storing files on the disc will not cause it to weigh more.The information stored on a hard disk drive is encoded as magnetic fields on a rigid platter containing extremely small but discrete polarization areas. Therefore, the disk will always weigh exactly the same as it always did, regardless of how much information has been encoded onto it. Bits and bytes, in this instance, are without mass. Similarly, 20th century tape recorders stored voices, sounds, or data without making their tapes any heavier.
Buying a disc that has a larger capacity may mean that it is slightly heavier, if there are more components inside it. But there is not a simple relationship.
An 80 Gb drive will probably weigh about the same as a 40 Gb drive.

Is 4 bytes equal to 4 bits?
No. The "byte" is much larger: A "byte" consists of 8 "bits". 4 bytes would equal 32 bits (4 x 8)
