Hmm interesting question. firstly i wouldn't bother unless it was usb2
can your laptop boot from the usb drive? some can and some can't. I am not sure what you mean by "do a one time boot menu from my laptop to boot from the usb device." Other than booting i see no problem, and perhaps performance.
