This can not be a real question. But what amazes me the most is how many people actually took the time to think about and then answer this "question".

No, it does not. A hard drive is a form of magnetic storage, where sectors of the drive simply change their magnetic polarity to signify binary data. This does not change the mass, and thus weight of the drive.

Its like asking: Does a blank photograph paper weigh more than a photograph paper that has a picture on it. Obviously the weight does not change.

I can't imagine why. The data is merely a state of charged and uncharged particles, with no real change of mass.
I'm curious what a real physicist or electronic engineer would say about this though...

No, it holds data by changing the magnetic pattern of the media. See link below.

If they are of the same make no if they are not of the same make yes

I don't think so .. the only change is the magnetization .. and I don't think it has that significant weight

NO, they will weigh the same ...... interesting question ....
