I want to buy an external hard drive for photos, etc. Is it better to buy an internal hard drive with a housing or an external one?
Because theoretically I could build the internal hard drive into the laptop or pc at some point.
However, does it matter to the internal hard drive if it is always in the case?
You can also install an external hard drive in a laptop / PC. All you have to do is disassemble it.
I would buy an internal one because it is much more flexible. It doesn't matter at all if it's in the case… You actually don't need a case if you don't step on it or I hope I could help you

That depends on the intended use. I use both and I like to use 2TB WD 2.5 "
which is a little cheaper than the combination HDD + SATA adapter
Normally, external hard drives only have normal internal ones in a housing. So it doesn't matter whether you buy an external or an internal + housing.
