Well a byte is digital data and as such it must occupy a physical location. That location is not 0 mass. Be that a hard drive or computer memory, there is a physical location where that byte is stored. On computer memory is silicon, it has mass, on spinning rust it is the platter and IronOxide, which also has mass. HD's are TB sized now but a few years ago they were GB and before that MB sized. A GB would be a lot of those! So a GB of data definitely has mass, i.e., weight.
Thanks, BTW. That was obvious to me from the outset. I simply began calling MB and GB and TB "weight" years ago, just by understanding that electrical connections have mass. (E=MC squared. Energy is matter or vice versa.)
