    Internal should be more reliable but SSDs are more reliable in general

    It all depends on usage. Internal will obviously give you more storage on your computer/laptop. This then enables you to work with larger files. Externals are beneficial for backing up data or for making your files more mobile. External is quite handy for DJs and media content creators as wel.

    Internal Solid State drives is always faster. But the external SSD is not too bad

    Best internal hard drives are the Solid State Drives, they boot and load up faster and make applications start quicker, new technology SSD is the way to go now

    Redundancy is key. Whatever you put on the inside should be on the external. You can have the fastest drive but if it goes then its pointless.

    I recently or i should say a year ago i did a SSD swap in my desktop for OS. And for music and other stuff i did a 2tb hard drive. So i dont have to keep pluging my hard drive into my desktop everytime i want to use it. Going internal is soo much better and SSD on my laptop as well
