exactly! external terminators are often better made. lvd drives don't include a terminator (at least not the early ones) because for lvd you need and active terminator to get full benefit (maximum cable length, number of drives, and data speed) and there just wasn't room to build one in on the controller board like there was for passive termination. this also allows customers to use forced perfect termination if they wish which is even better in non-ideal environments, i.e. the real world.
