Yes! Do this and if you're constrained by disk size, get an external NVME ssd enclosure.
They come in USB and Thunderbolt variants. I've only used the USB variant and am seeing Read speeds of 1000mb/s and Writes at 1300mb/s using the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test app. This is using a Samsung 970 1TB drive (~$200) and an Orico enclosure (~$35).
For reference, my onboard SSD soldered to the motherboard of my Mac gives me 1250mb/s Reads and 2400mb/s Writes. I'm guessing the Thunderbolt enclosures go higher but they're wayy more expensive right now over USB.
