HDD limiting OC???

Could be a number of things. SATA drives can be scrambled when running high bus frequencies. You may be PSU limited. The chip may not have any more MHz in it.
if you are using the SATA ports integrated into your southbridge, they may limit your OC. But that's the only thing, other than the added burden on your PSU, that is even remotely sotrage related and limits OC potential. You're better off asking this question in Overclocking and Cooling than here.
