320 gb usb drives for imaging data

[red dwalf]

hi,

my computer is an old but faithfull dell d610 so only has a 40 gb hard drive, as i`m wanting to do some imaging with the meade dsi i`m certain that this hard drive will soon be taken up so was thinking of getting a 320 gb usb drive to plug in to the laptop, may seem a silly question but would this work o.k. ?

many thanks

Rob
