Does using an hard drive instead of an USB drive as storage increase emulation speed in POPS?

I've tried playing Crash Bandicoot 2 on the "Sony PS1 Emulator for PS2" (aka POPS, LBB-00001) using an USB drive as storage medium for the game on a SCPH-50004 fat PS2. It was playable but execution was somewhat slower than standard.

Would using an HDD as storage medium solve the problem?

Best Answer

Using a fat PS3 HDD attached with an unofficial network port -> sata adapter as storage medium hasn't increased the performance.

Maybe with an SSD?
