Hi, If you're speaking of the ability of someone to connect remotely to your Mac, then gain access to both your Mac and external HD data, then I guess maximum security would be total physical disconnection. If ejected, there are terminal commands that a user can implement that will re-mount that drive if still physically connected. Most people aren't versed in this sort of disk management, but those who have the know-how to remotely break into your machine likely have that knowledge, or access to it. Now, knowing all this, it's not particularly easy to let someone gain access to your machine in that manner without you doing something to allow it.
