Since we're splitting hairs here, may I note that earth has a magnetic field, and if you change the magnetic field of the drive, its weight (not mass) will change. Think magnet against a magnet. The field gets stronger the closer you get to earth, so even if you just move the magnetic field of the drive closer to earth, you will make a change in weight.And also when reading or writing, the drive will warm up and expand (thermal expansion), but the mass stays the same, therefore it's less dense and weighs less -- more lift, same mass.And lastly, I need to get laid. Thanks for listening.
