But a hard drive that's erased had the same amount of information in it that a "full" one has - it's just information that's not readable/useful to us.

Yes agreed. Was just pushing back against the idea that a "full" hard drive had more information in it than an "empty" one, where full and empty are more about human perception. The actual information content is the same (as you point out).
