I'm definitely not discouraged, don't worry.. As impressive as many of these benchmarks are, they're much like the WEI story; it's mostly marketing gimmicks at the end of the day. :)
My current machine's Win folder is sitting at about 27GB at the moment, which is pretty average for one of my setups, so my 120GB M500 (with desktop apps) is only half full. My games fit quite comfortably on my current 500GB 'Cuda, so I won't have any issues switching over to a 480GB M500.
Years back in WinXP's glory days, my brother had a pretty sweet backup/restore procedure.. In a nutshell, he had a couple scripts saved that would update the paths for his program, profile and data folders, which were stored on the D:/. If he ever had to format/reinstall, he would simply wipe the primary drive, reinstall, run his scripts and restart. The only thing we never quite got around to doing was automating the whole process. Fun times..
