Depends on your usage. If your are going to carry it around with you go for the one without external power.
I tend to but external powered devices because they are cheaper and I don't move them much.

Welcome to the community, Teo Lakis!
It really depends on what you want to use the drive for as @Conrad Pinto already mentioned.
I guess the 1.5 TB external you are speaking of is WD Elements, which I personally like very much because it's fast and has no hardware encryption and it's pretty comfortable to carry around with you all the time.

If you want additional secondary storage to put into your computer or in an externally powered enclosure, you can take a look at WD Green drives. They are very quiet and run cool, pretty reliable as a storage solution for your massive data as well. The great thing about these ones is that they can be used in external enclosures for storage without voiding their warranty.
