Bigger Hard Disk means better Performance?

No, but newer ones are faster. The size only affects the ammount you can put on it. A new one will likely be faster never-the-less, if you pay the money.

He summed it up.

Hard drive speeds depends on quite a lot: The drives RPM, buffer size, motherboard chipset, read/write/seek time etc etc

Larger hard drive do have a down side though, they take longer to virus scan, defrag, scandisk/chkdsk etc.

That must have been a huge drive, with lots of data, that was really fragmented.

My 120GB typically takes an hour max.

I had a customer come into work at the weekend who said they defragged their PC, and it wiped the NTLDR (sp?), a very important windows file, therefore knocking out their windows and the whole PC :| I had never heard of a defragment that knocked out windows before...

Actually, at first glance I was like "Bigger hard WHAT?!" =P

No, bigger hard disk means longer virus scan timesway2funny

hahah...but if you want a faster computer you can either get more RAM or a faster processor...but the ram willl be cheaper
