When referencing a computer case design, an external drive bay is one that is accessible from outside the computer, such as a drive bay that houses an optical drive (CD or DVD). An internal drive bay is not accessible from outside the computer, such as a bay that houses a hard drive. There is no need to have physical access to the hard drive so it does not need a "door to the outside" like a CD or DVD drive.
