Yes, you'll need Pro (or a 3rd party sampler).  The EXSP indeed 
doesn't support harddisk streaming, so if you can't load all required 
samples in RAM, disk-streaming is the way to go.
Of course you can also get Express, and buy an additional 3rd party 
AU sampler, such as Kontakt or Halion -- depends on your needs & 
budget.  Note that even though some 3rd party samplers offer more 
features than the EXS, you'll never get the stability and tight 
timing the EXS offers.  If you want to use mainly prefab sample 
libraries, the EXS probably is the best solution you can get (and 
people's opinions vary wildly re: the usefulness of the extra 
features in other samplers).  If you're into wild sound-mangling 
stuff, NI Kontakt might suit you better (although many people seem to 
have been experiencing problems with NI plug-ins).
