Have you compared with the total number of bytes in files or with the
amount of space that would be needed on a 650-MB hard drive? Because the
data must be interpreted as though the TOC were a FAT, you lose space at
the end of sectors as though you had a FAT there. To get a factor of
two, you would have had to have had lots of small files and (probably)
lots of directories.
