Sim, é possível.
Hard drives: Only 3.5 inch SATA II/III hard drives are supported for use with the Import/Export service. Hard drives up to 6TB are supported. For import jobs, only the first data volume on the drive will be processed. The data volume must be formatted with NTFS. You can attach a SATA II/III disk externally to most computers using a SATA II/III USB Adapter.
Espere, porque, porém;) Mas, então, a economia de largura de banda é um bom argumento.
