Agreed - an external drive is easiest to plug in and go. I'm not so sure about there being no difference between brands - the lack of adequate cooling is probably the main issue which causes drives to cook and die prematurely (I've read about Maxtor problems in this area, but it probably affects most types without fans to some degree).
