I tend to shy away from external HDD's as they are prone to failure as before I retired the number of people coming into the shop with their ext HDD's that had stopped being recognised or had the click of death was a regular occurrence. Then when you told them the cost of data recovery they would nearly burst into tears as conventional data recovery started around £100 and specialist recovery at around £700 so as has been said backup your data in at least 2 places i have mine backed up on 3 different internal HDD's and also have a cloud backup.
