If I assign the external device a drive letter, would OpenVSwitch startup a process on the external memory device and run the FIB table there? Assuming that this external device already has a processor and ample RAM?

I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish.  The FIB is dynamically created by OVS as it's processing packets; i's just in the ovs-vswitchd memory.  Why do you care where it's physically located?  I don't understand how device drive letters play into this.
