Why is your Windows 7 directory 30GB?? Mine is 13GB.

Seconding the 120GB recommendation, 64GB is pretty much impossible to get by with if you are going to install a game or two on it.

64-bit vs 32-bit has a lot to do with it, a 64-bit install is much larger than a 32-bit install.

e: Also, wow, that command is awesome.

Mount it to a fan. Spinning your data bits makes them faster. It's physics

Short stroke your data to make sure the electrons move in the same direction as the fan to capitalize on the momentum.
