Explanation

The two complaints - insufficient storage and slow application load times - both point to a storage problem. An SSD (Solid State Drive) resolves both issues: it provides a capacity upgrade over a potentially full drive, and dramatically improves read/write speeds compared to a traditional HDD, directly fixing slow load times. A USB drive is not a suitable internal replacement. An HDD could add storage capacity but would not improve load speed - and could even be slower than an existing drive. RAM affects running performance but does not address storage capacity or load speed from disk.
