There are differences, but you are comparing apples and oranges.
Internal drives have a Stable place to be located, no harsh conditions and dont bounce around much.
External drives need should have cooling, a good SHOCK aborbstion, Power supplys, and alot of extra stuff, just to be Portable.
In both cases there are good and BAD.
