Since I'm interested in getting an SSD to host virtual instrument samples, is there a speed difference between an internal vs. external drive?

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I already have a 1 TB 7200 RPM hard drive that came with my computer, so I want to add a 1 TB internal SSD. I have a Dell PC, which is less than 1 year old, so I called their product support line this afternoon. The person I spoke to suggested that the mother...
