Thanks for your answers-Pete i believe you're right.
But i'm not totally convinced and i'm not a physicist so i extend my question here:
So let's say that you have a 100Gb hard drive empty, you put it on the scale.you weigh it...
You upload 100 gb of stuff on your 100 gb drive.
Would it weigh the same weight than when it was empty?

A gigabyte doesn't have weight, per se. A gigabyte of RAM might weigh an ounce or two. A gigabyte hard drive might weigh several ounces to a couple pounds.

It's difficult to imagine who would ask such a question. A gigabyte is a unit of measure and in the computer world it measures the amount of storage space. It is a concept, not a physical thing

ask a silly question you'll get a silly answer like which is the heavier a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers
