HDD technology doesn't seem to evolve a lot while everything else is evolving at light speed.
Basically, I am curious how would a faster hard drive/SSD improve my experience in MO.

HDD is mostly used for when you start Mortal Online, after that its memory and graphic cards. a SSD is a fast and nice HDD but expensive.
The freeze you talk about is an issue we have in our current build, this will soon be solved, doesnt matter what disk you use. Also we are supporting 64 bits so you can take some serious advantage of using more than 3 gig ram on your system. With the new build we also gain performance in shadows and light. And with our texture optimization we will unload the roof of the graphic cards which means minimize those type of crashes. So your HDD is only used when entering the game mostly.
