Are internal hard drives better than/preferable to external drives or does it matter much anymore? [View all]

I need to replace an internal hard drive that went kaput awhile ago but it seems as though stores are pushing external hard drives over internal drives. Should I invest in a internal or external drive as a replacement? I should add that I have a hard drive already that is being used for Windows 7 but I have a big iTunes library which has whittled my drive space down to about 20 GB and need a new drive to store that on while using the internal drive for Windows. Any thoughts? Thanks!
