I tried that and it didn't like it, it failed to mount the drive on boot and the router nearly bricked. I suspect the drive was taking too much power through that port and the router couldn't spin it, USB flash drive might work the recommended solution is to swap the flash storage with a bigger chip, it's cheap but requires tinkering and time I don't have.

Honestly I'd rather get a cheap laptop and use that as a router, routers are abysmal dogshit.
