Re: HDD VS SDD
SSD is preferred, but Faceswap does it's best to load in data in advance so you're unlikely to even notice the difference. I personally have swapped with remote network drives without trouble.
Check out the hardware guide at viewtopic.php?f=16&t=10 for more information.

Re: HDD VS SDD
I don't think you'll see a difference when doing a face swap. Generally, I would recommend SDD as it's faster, much more durable than HDD, definitely more compact and quieter when being used, and what's more important, it consumes less energy. I started using SDDs instead of HDDs after I almost lost all the information on my computer. My hard disk slowed to a crawl and when it reopened I couldn't find anything on my laptop. Back then I used DATA RECOVERY SERVICES to recover my lost information and I got the suggestion to use an SDD hard disk. Since then, I only used this type and had no other problems.
