All data storage and retrieval uses energy, which has some mass equivilant, but radiates as heat, magnetism, light, and electricity, which much produce molecular changes in the data medium, and surounding structures.
Figuring out the net energy/weight balance for each possible data use is going to be way out there on the thinest limbs of conjecture. Increasing the degass rate or polymerising the surface of x, x¹, x²...
