Yes you can use usb devices for stores. On my device it show’s as usb1, usb2 etc. in Stores → Disks.

i can not change cache drive in web proxy setting. why? what is the way using usb drive for cache?

Drives are managed by “stores”. To tell web-proxy to store cache on different drive, go to either Stores or System → Stores in winbox or /stores on console and add a new web-proxy store. If more that one store exists, you can activate the one you want to use.

I’m using 3.27 on x86 and it seems to work ok. Try upgrading to latest version.
