Here is a handy script that was written to gather the local hard drive storage, both avaliable and free, and appends to the file. This works great for places where you want to see a trend. I run this monthly, but you could run it weekly or whenever you want. It creates a sepereate file for each logical partition, and each entry is on a single line so it works great.
