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.
