External hard drives have a higher chance of being knocked around, as they're not screwed to a chassis and are usually being moved around (or else, why get an external?)
Cooling for a hard drive is mostly non-existant, so unless you're leaving it in extreme hot and cold temperatures or tossing it around, there shouldn't be any difference.
Most external hard drives are just internal drives in a housing with appropriate plugs, anyway.
