Will 4.5TB of storage slow my PC?

I had a 1TB hard disk, but that got full in a hurry, so I stole a 500GB hard disk from a friends computer, now that is also full. So, I was thinking about getting a 3TB Western Digital Drive, to run alongside my Hitachi 1TB and my WD 500GB drives. I have a system consisting of the following parts:

 

Intel Core-i7 2600 (non-k) processor

Asus P8-H67 motherboard

8GB 1333MHz RAM.

Will this slow down my computer to a noticeable rate?

 

Thanks in Advance.

It shouldn't slow down your pc but if your bios is setup to try to boot from the new hard drive it could slow down your bootuptime.

Finally, something helpful.... I was gonna boot from the first hard disk, which is always my primary drive.

Would people calm down about the fact that he stole it and just answer his question? We don't need 40 people to tell him that stealing is bad

are .... are you serious

you want to help a theif ?

invite him to your home and let him borrow your hard disk

If your grave doesn't say "rest in peace" on it You are automatically drafted into the skeleton war.

it will be slower to load diskmanager in windows but you should use that all the time.

But it wont have any effect on the normal speed of the computer elsewhere?
