In my computer technician bag, part of my tool set includes numerous installation discs & USB flash drives for Windows, Mac & Linux OSes and numerous boot discs & USB flash drives for rescue, utility, data recovery, drive partition/cloning, etc. tools and software.

Is it possible to set up a USB hard drive to be an all-in-one boot drive that allows me to add all my OS installation and utility boot media (roughly 10 to 15) and boot from them? If so, how can I do this?
 
Something like this maybe?

Understand your intentions but just remember that all your "egg's will be in one basket" so to speak.

And if things go astray for some reason it may be more difficult to figure out what is wrong via the "one ring to rule them all" approach.

Just keep your existing installation and utility collection well-labeled, organized, and up-to-date. Plus have backup's handy.

No right or wrong either way. Just personal preference and an observation on my part.
