Yes, technically you could do that but the speed limitation over the USB port would be a concern.

It is not a very expensive device, so you can get it and give it a try.

You definitely would want speeds which would be comparable, to an SSD using a SATA port. Although you would never be able to match the speeds of an NVME drive. And that's what you would want to be using.

Would be best to try to update the solid-state drive in the laptop to a much bigger one.
