Nope.  A drive is a drive.  An external only has a power supply 
and case to add cost.  If you only have one system that you 
intend to attach it to, go internal.

I have a Ricoh MP6201S that I'm very happy with.  I note that 
Essential Data has a bare Yamaha 4260 for $299 that I would snap 
up in an instant today (the Yamaha was the one I really wanted at
the time).  I bought my Ricoh ED them and was very pleased with 
the service.  They have a small, but universally 100% rating on 
the consumer groups I've seen.

Bottom line: I'd go with the Yamaha 4260 at the price.
