I actually just tested that theory recently. It actually works, a bit. Mostly BS though.
Fact is, I only need about 100GB on my Windows drive, and I am not about to store my important data on a single drive. I'll just use the spare space for a 2nd redundancy to my storage drives with a backup program.
