Jon Morgan writes "Whilst heaving around numerous data storage systems to sell (they weigh A LOT!), we got to wondering: How heavy is a Petabyte of data storage?
Our best guess is 365KG (How heavy is a Petabyte?) which is 6 million times lighter than in 1980! But is there a lighter way to store a Petabyte?" Link to Original Source

And a petabyte fits in 1 cm^3.

I don't know the weight, but I would guess it to be less than 10g.
