Depends on the size of the HDD. There are circumstances where a 2TB 7200 HDD can give faster transfer rates with data near the centre of the plater than a 350GB 10000 HDD. This is because for each mm of plater space the 2TB HDD has more data squeezed in than the 350GB, this is of course both the HDD have same number of platters.

I personally partition my OS HDD with two partitions: The very first partition is a 10GB partition for the swap / page file and the second is for the OS, that way with memory intensive operations the swap file gets the fastest section of the HDD.
