Exactly. A lot of us do this.

In the screen shot posted by Rharv, that's for the RealTracks. There is another similar step you must take if you copy the BB/Drums folder. You make the same choice in the RealDrums tab, just to the left of the RealTracks tab shown above.

About how it will work: on my production machine, I have the RealTracks and RealDrums on a dedicated SSD, and it flies. But on my backup machine, they are on last year's PG Music external USB drive, and they still work just fine. An internal drive, even if it is not SSD, is still faster than any USB drive.
