Because you see, if you consider both the drives to use a single platter, and same technology, you can draw a graph like that.<a href="http://s177.photobucket.com/albums/w224/anushand/?action=view&current=60gb_vs_160gb.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w224/anushand/60gb_vs_160gb.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>See, the average seek times for the 60GB one and 160GB are same, but if you consider first 60GB of the 160GB (where the OS and programs reside most of the times), the seeks are lower, and hence better responsiveness.Also the raw transfer rate wise, the first 60GB of the 160GB drive has a higher average.Also, higher the density, higher the sectors that pass under one rotational sweep of the header, and more bits can be read per rotation, hence again faster.</blockquote>
