It isn't going to do anything with the speed of your computer. It will give you more storage so you can store more things, but nothing with the speed of the overall computer. What would speed it up is to get a faster hard drive then the original one installed which can load data faster, however, putting in a second one isn't going to unless it was faster and you had the OS installed on that one.
