Should I get an external drive or internal HD (not sdd) for back up and storing home folder?

Also, I noticed when I put my hand an external drive (I have one already) it feels like it's active even if I am not using it, I am worried I am over working it and thereby reducing it's long life.Is that anything to worry about?
