does a hard drive get heavier the more data it holds ?

Will humans ever walk on the sun?

We walked on the moon, why not on the sun?

PLS ANSWER!

It's getting more dense hence heavier so if you're out of luck your hard drive will soon fall trough your house as it's breaking everything below it due to the weight.

The more data, the heavier the hard drive. 1 GB is equal to 20KG, So if you have 1 TB hard drive and filled with 1 TB of data then it will crush everything in its way and go down the ground with its high pressure and go to earths core;

Well you see let me explain as this question is nearly as complex as the answer judging by the fact that uses magnetic storage to store and retrieve digital information using one or more rigid rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. The platters are paired with magnetic heads, usually arranged on a moving actuator arm, which read and write data to the platter surfaces.Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. HDDs are a type of non-volatile storage, retaining stored data even when powered off.
Introduced by IBM in 1956,[HDDs became the dominant secondary "also dickhead you may not realise that this is complete BS, so you finally figured it out after finding this hidden message" for general-purpose computers by the early 1960s. Continuously improved, HDDs have maintained this position into the modern era of servers and personal computers. More than 200 companies have produced HDDs historically, though after extensive industry consolidation most current units are manufactured by Seagate, Toshiba, and Western Digital. As of 2016, HDD production (in bytes per year) is growing, although unit shipments and sales revenues are declining. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), which have higher data-transfer rates, higher areal storage density, better reliability,and much lower latency and access times. While SSDs have higher cost per bit, SSDs are replacing HDDs where speed, power consumption, small size, and durability are important.
The primary characteristics of an HDD are its capacity and performance. Capacity is specified in unit prefixes corresponding to powers of 1000: a 1-terabyte (TB) drive has a capacity of 1,000 gigabytes (GB; where 1 gigabyte = 1 billion bytes). Typically, some of an HDD's capacity is unavailable to the user because it is used by the file system and the computer operating system, and possibly inbuilt redundancy for error correction and recovery. Performance is specified by the time required to move the heads to a track or cylinder (average access time) plus the time it takes for the desired sector to move under the head (average latency, which is a function of the physical rotational speed in revolutions per minute), and finally the speed at which the data is transmitted (data rate).
The two most common form factors for modern HDDs are 3.5-inch, for desktop computers, and 2.5-inch, primarily for laptops. HDDs are connected to systems by standard interface cables such as PATA (Parallel ATA), SATA (Serial ATA), USB or SAS (Serial attached SCSI) cables.

Just get straight to the point.

Are you mentally retarded?  :areyoukiddingme:

Sun is like a ball of flaming ball, but it doesn't lose it's heat. Imagine touching it, it burns your finger right? We can't walk in Sun unless we have MORE modern tech

Sun has high temperature we can't walk in there, unless we have more modern technology and shits

We have to try it on the night, definitely

If it's flat it can still spin LIKE THE DISK ON A HARD DRIVE see what I'm getting at here?

Nasa have had some "special" relations with IBM the creators of the hard drive, coincidence I THINK NOT!
