Dear All,
Does the size of the hard disk affect Fedora's performance?
I am looking for a 2 T disk to replace my current disk, but some
people are warning me about performance; they say I should buy a disk
of at most 1 T. Are they correct?
Thanks in advance,

I have a 2TB disk in this system and I haven't seen any speed issues. I
used Fedora's defaults to partition it:
$ df -h

devtmpfs 3.8G 0 3.8G 0% /dev
tmpfs 3.9G 5.9M 3.9G 1% /dev/shm
