larger hard disks tend to have more heads so they can be as fast or faster, but it all depends on the drive, theres no rule that smaller - faster with drives though or vice versa

track to track seek times, rpms etc all affect speed.

fragmentation can be an issue too, buffer size of the drive itself.
