    you should not install things onto external hard drives They are noticably slower than internal ones and the fact they can be removed can cause issues with some software.

    There is not enough information about either for me to say one is better than the other.

    True.
    I once had software on my external HDD, I plugged a USB stick in before plugging the HDD in and the drive letter changed. So I had to remove all software manually.

    I do not recommended getting any of them for games, due to the reasons stated above.
    You may use them for video's, however.
