yeah you can.

for such low capacity might as well buy an SSD since hard drives use up more power

Gonna use it with the deck connected to a TV, hdmi, dock, all these. Also charging. So no problem with using more power.
Thanks for your answer

There is some work involved (today) to using external storage but it's definitely doable. I want to give the poster credit for these links so posting a link to his post rather than just grabbing the links:
