Nope, they aren't any different. I'm not sure what you mean by Apple's
external verses any other external. Apple doesn't make drives
themselves. They sell the Lacie (incorrect spelling, but sounds that
way) which apparently are very good drives. Apple tends to sell
products as accessories that have done well. So, you aren't limited to
any particular drive. It's been a good while, but if you get a new
drive, you may wish to partition and/or format for Mac OS as I don't
recall, but believe most drives come formatted for windows. Of course
don't quote me because my mind is a terribly wasted thing.
Oh of course I nearly forgot to answer your question. If you mean is
the drive in my Time Capsule called Time Capsule, no, it is referred
to by the name of the router. My router might be called remote-world1
and that is what the disk in the router is called. As far as do you
have to name an external Time Capsule for purposes of backing up with
Time Machine etc. no. Hope that answers your questions and if you have
others, just ask away.

Okay. Thanks for your answer.
Is your external harddisc called time capsule? Are there any
differences between a normal external harddisc and external Apple
harddisc? I've find other external harddiscs much cheeper than
Apples external harddiscs.
