The Inquirer posted an article showing how you can recover unused/lost hard drive space. Here are some of the numbers:
Interesting results to date:
Western Digital 200GB SATA
Yield after recovery: 510GB of space
IBM Deskstar 80GB EIDE
Yield after recovery: 150GB of space
Maxtor 40GB EIDE
Yield after recovery: 80GB
Seagate 20GB EIDE
Yield after recovery: 30GB
Unknown laptop 80GB HDD
Yield: 120GB
Not sure if I would trust it, but I am considering doing this for my dvr, where the risk of data loss won't be as painful.
