There is no difference between internal and external hard drives. You can partition and format them all to EXFAT so they can work on Mac and PC. An internal RAID is the least expensive option to have a large capacity drives an fast throughput. You can stripe 6, 7, 8 or even more hard drives in a RAID zero array and get read and write speeds of over 2000 MBPS. That is megabytes per second not megabits. They do have external RAID systems and extenal USB enclosure for internal hard drives. I can swap internal hard drives between Mac and PC super easy and super inexpensive.

Thanks for the information. There is a huge price different between the SSD internal & external HD. If there is no difference between internal and external hard drives it is good to have external HD. Because external HD can fit with any computer.
