Physical Hard-Disk Data Arrangements and Drive Failures?

Tadau asks: "Knowing not much of the low-level and molecular aspects of a hard drive platter, I'm wondering if it is possible to cause a weight change/imbalance on a hard drive platter by say writing solid 1's to approximately 1/2 of a side of the platter? If there is a weight change, then could that attribute to drive vibrations by an ever-so-slightly unbalanced platter, which may result in an eventual drive failure?"

1's more then 0's?

If all the hardrives were ones it would have the north and south poles more defined and the hard drive would cave in to itself.
