Hmm... now comes the question, the bigger your HDD is, will it slow down system?

Coz the bigger the space, the longer your HDD need to search right? No?

Hmm..

I don't think so.

Well, it may seem so, but the physical size of the platter remains the same, as does the rotation speed.

So physically, it will take about the same amount of time to search for your files although it will be slower due to other issues. But not as much as you would think.
