Maybe he's saying faster because playing from HDD is instant, and streaming isn't. Playing from HDD also means proper seeking, pausing, restart etc. It also means of course you can play the movie without PC being on, burning 2x the power. You have the choice of course to do either - copy to HDD or stream so its a matter of preference.

I find I do both but I prefer local storage. The HDD is also entirely adequate for SD movies, but you can expand it quite easily if space ever became tight.
