There are many things that can make a hardrive slow, space is not the biggest factor to this. However if you are running a newer build with vista and your drive is near full that's when space could effect speeds. On a older build 40 gigs is fine for the average emai-checker and web surfer. Keep it defragmented and clean. I would suggest a minimum of 80 gigabyes though.

Probably, but it would have to be an external hard drive. The above is incorrect. some modem motherboards have provisions for 4 ide drives, and 4 sata, with add on cards you can add even more, as long as your PSU is big enough, I have one computer here that is successfully running 16 drives in it. most of my computers run around 4, so yes you are fine to run 3
