Does a higher capacity drive generally perform faster or slower than a lower capacity drive?

The data transfer speed of a device is not fully dependant on its size. With certain file systems, larger drives will perform slower because of the way the files are stored; this is why NTFS is used rather than FAT32 for large hard drives. However; the size of the drive is not the biggest factor in speed. For example, a 7200 RPM drive is usually faster than a 5400 RPM drive, even if the 7200 RPM drive is much larger in storage size.

Within reason, driving slower is better because you have more time to react. However, it is not better to drive a great deal slower than the traffic around you, because the others will be passing you at higher speed or backing up behind you.
