>2.43×10^-15 electrons

I believe TFA reads 2.43×10^-15 kg, not electrons. Unless SSDs are creating new and exciting physics, one can't have less than one electron, as it's an elementary particle.

Well you could have a virtual particle whose mass could be time-averaged.

Neutrinos weight far less than electrons (but while NAND flash involves super weird physics it's not that weird)

		They do weigh far less, but a quantity of "10^-15 electrons" is still impossible.

10^–15 is not a negative number, just a small one. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=10%5E-15+

And it is less than one?

		I think my favorite part of that comment is "documenting" that 10^(-15) is not negative by appealing to Wolfram Alpha.
