External drive is okay but you may want to have 2 in RAID-1 configuration at least. Hard drives die all the time, at home, you tend to leave them in some corner or move them around so I would use minimum 2 hard drives. You can buy 2-Bay enclosures with RAID1 option.

RAID1 is basically 2 drives *mirroring *each other so if one dies, you still have your data on the other.

I apologize in advance for asking what seems like dumb questions but I am a software guy not much of a hardware guy.

Can I take the hard drives out of the external drives to use in the enclosures or Do I need to buy internal drives?
