external hdd die a lot faster than internal ones, so yes. Odds of it not surviving long are pretty high. Depends if they old stock or 2nd hand.
I wouldn't trust a 2nd hand drive with anything you really need.
Even the new external drives I bought still ended up dying.
Normally, if you want external the safest option is to buy an enclosure for one and make your own - mainly nvme or ssd now. Soon nvme will be cheaper as they not going extinct like ssd are.
