Yan,

As long as the usb external disk looks local to the operating system, then
you should be able to do this. However, remember that disk performance may
be less than a local IDE or SCSI disk.

Actually, I've heard that USB2 drives perform very well in comparison to
their IDE cousins--especially on laptops where the drives are painfully
slow.
