Hi Josh, you`ve got your knickers in a twist.
1. An `internal` goes in your machine.
2. An `external` goes in an external case and is connected to USB.
You would probably have to get a Technician to fit the internal (expensive
??).
An external unit, you can plug in yourself. ( So which is least expesive
??).
You choice. Best wishes..OJ
