Doesn't the outer edge of the disk spin slower then the inside, and have a
larger area for the arm to store and retrieve data? Wouldn't it be the slower
part of the disk?

Do partitions work from the inside out? (Sda1 = inside, sda7 = outside)

I don't know much about the physical structure of a hd, I've just taken a few

Just curiouser.
