A good SSD could be up to 3x faster if on a SATA 6GB connection. Of course
you will lose the capacity unless you spend a lot. Additionally there are
some very render intensive settings in form - watch your particle count and
make sure things are turned down to the minimum that looks ok, then crank
the quality for the final. Work in 8bit color, tweak your MP settings,
etc.
