No, overall, hard drives just give you more storage space. Newer hard drives tend to be faster than older ones, but that only affects disk-intensive activity, not processor or RAM-intensive things.

If you want your computer to go faster, your better off buying a better processor. More and/or faster RAM can help too.

The easiest way to make an internal hard drive portable is to purchase what's called a hard drive enclosure. Hard drive enclosures are kits that have everything you need to make your own portable hard drive. Make sure you get a hard drive enclosure that matches the size and interface type as your hard drive, as well as the means of connectivity that you wish. As an example, you can have a 3.5" IDE hard drive enclosure that connects to your computer with a USB cable. Most computer stores have hard drive enclosure. The best place to get one is probably tigerdirect.com. There are many of them available on eBay.
