Does OI play nice with USB drives in your experience?

I have a backup server (OI/napp-it) that will boot up via BIOS at a set time, run backups, then shut down. I'm considering having an external USB drive (or maybe 2 in mirror) as the destination. One reason - better emergency 'grab and go' portability. Also, a great sale on now for 4TB Hitachi Touro Pro drives!

Motherboard is Supermicro X9SCA-F.

Thanks for your input.
