I agree, it's moving in the right direction and looks nice.

Looking at the latest iteration, with the empty HD case with the ruler
does get the disk usage message across generally. However, as an icon,
there is a lot of dead space for representing the box.

Maybe a large 3D Pie chart, laying inside the HD box would be more
effective at using space, color, and still represent that we are looking
at the usage of space inside the drive.

Like this, but perhaps two color:

itss progress every week!
