Not necessarily, I have a desktop that runs about 18-20 hours a day for the last 8 years, with the original Maxtor hard drive and no issues with the drive, still works perfect. Maybe externals may have problems with heat.

My externals are used to back up, when finished, click on safely remove hardware, and then I unplug them and put them away.
