Thanks for outlining some of the potential risks. It will only store subs so there really shouldn't be any other file types apart from the odd hidden system file written by the OS I guess. You're right about using a NAS unit and if this was the main rig then this would definitely be something to consider. However the laptop will only be used with the external drive every now and then at a dark site or weekend getaway. So far as a cheap solution it seems to be working out OK and from a worst case scenario if I was to lose anything it would probably only be a night or two of imaging. Although annoying I don't see it as the end of the world.
