An Internal HDD has the advantage that you can see your data safely all the time, but I’d think that storing the data on an external HDD in a cabinet, or somewhere safe place probably makes the HDD live longer. Is that so? Or not really?

An internal drive only protects you against drive failure. If the device is physically/electrically damaged or lost, so is your backup.
An external drive can be stored separately, and retrieved using a separate device if necessary.
An unpowered drive will also last longer usually.
