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
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs        3.8G     0  3.8G   0% /dev
tmpfs           3.9G  5.9M  3.9G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs           3.9G   11M  3.9G   1% /run
tmpfs           3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda3        50G  9.4G   40G  20% /
tmpfs           3.9G  872K  3.9G   1% /tmp
/dev/sda2       477M  118M  334M  27% /boot
/dev/sda1       200M  288K  200M   1% /boot/efi
/dev/sda5       1.8T  246G  1.5T  15% /home


Model Family:     Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 (AF)
Device Model:     ST2000DM001-9YN164
