I can't see how it would given the system reqs. (From

The only reason HDD speed would matter a lot is if you are constantly loading a large file. Video editing is a prime example of where this is important. Unless the file is too big to be entirely held in memory the only thing a faster hard drive would do is probably make opening a file faster.
edit: Actually looking at those required specs you
might even be able to get by with an integrated laptop card, but it wouldn't be pretty.
