Wouldn't the bigger HDD cause longer seek times? not the chips.

Not necessarily, the harddrive specs could be different other than size. For instance my old 500GB had an average transfer rate of about 80MB/s and 13ms seek time, while my newer (and now full) 1TB drive has  an average rate of 95MB/s and average seek time of 10ms, both are 7200RPM drives but the TB has a larger cache and some other different mechanics.

And in the case of loading DVDs and most games you do not use the HDD.
