IMO, “YES!!” – considering the number of sample libraries that lean that way:

and youtube is rife with songwriters using it in that capacity.
Of course there is a manual.

Regarding the use of a single external hard drive containing your sound libraries on two laptops,
you will still need to install the Superior Drummer 3 software, MIDI Library, and Presets on both laptops.
The sound libraries can reside and be configured to reference the same external drive.
from the SD3 manual:
LINKING THE INSTALLED SOFTWARE TO THE SUPERIOR DRUMMER 3 SOUND LIBRARY
Once ALL software installations are complete, launch The SD3 stand alone application.
In the [Settings] menu, select [Libraries].
Click the [Browse for Library Paths] button
and then navigate to the ‘SL-SuperiorDrummer3‘ folder on the hard drive.
The sound library will now be linked and available for use.
Repeat for each additional installation.
