You will rattle the internal disk *hard* because it will be rebuilding he external disk regularly. It will fail much sooner than you expect.
While it can't hurt to alternate isn't a disk rebuild just reading everything from one disk and writing it to another? Isn't that what disks are designed to do? It should be relatively easy on the heads because they won't have to move very much unless the server itself puts the drives under a lot of stress during the rebuild. Shouldn't they be able to read from one side of the disk to the other without much trouble?
