I am looking to purchase a HDD for backup purposes but I am not sure which is best, an internal drive or an external.

I know external via usb are portable but this is not a neccesary requirement.

Do they work the same or do I have to configure an internal drive to get it to work? I have read about partitioning etc. Is this going to be too much hassle?

Any comments please
 
Externals have a habit of overheating if left running for long periods. An internal with a fan keeping it cool is a much better idea in my opinion.
An internal will also be quicker too.
