VM on mac through external ssd

I have a 256gb mba m4, and i have installed VMware fusion in it, which already costs \~70gb of my mac

I do have a SanDisk 2tb external ssd with a max read and write speed of 1gbps, can i transfer all the vm files from mac to the ssd and run it?

Is it a good move? What will I have to compromise on, will the speed be disgustingly slow?
