Slower drive speeds depend on how much fragmented data is on the drive, the free space it has, and the drive's read write speed. Solid State Drives (SSD) can access data faster, but they are way too expensive. The cheaper ones have a small capacity for a console that needs to install 30-40GB of data. But to answer your first question, a drive with a large capacity isn't supposed to affect negatively on the game's performance, unless the write read speed is low.
Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
