Hard Drive Size and Partitioning

Hey all! New to the boards and pro-tools here. I'm sure this has been adressed but I couldnt find a post completely on topic so here goes again.

What size hard drive is optimal for my audio drive? Is there an advantage to a 40gig vs 120 vs 200? I've heard that the smaller drives are faster but I'm not sure thats still a significant consideration. Is the advantage to one or the other theoretical or will it be noticable? (talking strictly IDE here). What about partition size? Does that make a difference and what is a safe size for 32 tracks with about 10 mins or so per song?

Thanks!
