about haddrive/heat/connectors etc...

Does bigger Harddrive (200-250 GB) size means more heat and use more power?

I got a 2 year old motherboard, harddrive is connected to primary ide(blue),
dvd-rw drive and cd-rom drive connected to secondary ide(black) set to
master/slave.
I notice that i got a 2 serial ata connector available, if for instance i
try to upgrade to a new harddrive should i stay with the current
configuration or should i make a transition to serial ata since its faster
and improve airflow. will it be hard to make the transition to Serial ata
since this is somewhat a old motherboard? Will it make difference on speed or
will i see no difference at all?
