Is there a reason you need to keep the external drive constantly connected?
The easy answer is to "Safely Remove" it from the system and then unplug it before you shut down. Then plug it back in after you start up.
I don't see what you can gain from leaving it plugged in all the time, and it is slowing things down, so....

What TVeblen means, I think, is don't plug the external in until you have to use it.
