Vmware disk expand and create new disk question

I have a linux box running of vmware and I have added 100GB as third drive, added to volume group and extended the volume, but is there any performance difference by expanding the disk instead of creating new disk?

Thank you very much. Yes, disk from SAN. Is there any performance in OS? Does system need more cpu cycle, if we add as a second disk instead on increasing?
