depends on you have any space for more rooms for those small capacity. otherwise just grab a big one.

i would say that a few small capacity eats more power. (since u have more devices to provide the power.)

Matter of preference. Internal is the best IMO, install once and no hassle afterwards.

Anyway, each hard disk won't draw much power.. ~10 watt when active
