Your internal hard disk should be equipped with built-in terminating
resistors.  Leave them in.

Next determine whether your external hard disk is equipped with
built-in terminating resistors.  If it is, then you need no other
termination.

However if the external hard disk does not have built-in terminating
resistors, use one Cable Terminator, between the cable and the hard
drive.
