If you are asking can you use an external drive with your MacBook then yes. When I had a 256GB MB Air I had an external drive for it where I stored all my media files and other files I only accessed when I was at my desk. If you are asking if you can create a fusion drive by combining the internal drive with an external, the answer is yes but you'd then have a computer that could only function when you had the external hard drive with you and powered on. Disconnecting the external would be disastrous.
