Hi , is it possible to install PBS on the same hardware as my Proxmox VE.
The Proxmox VE is installed on Dell MICRO i5 16 gb ram .240 GB SSD and 480 GB SSD.

I have 3 spare usb ports and 2 spare USB hard drives 1TB & 2TB . I was thinking that i could install the ISO on to 1TB and the 2 TB would be the storage. The Proxmox VE is installed on Dell MICRO i5 16 gb ram .240 GB SSD and 480 GB SSD.

Is this possible? I look forward to any comments.
 
It's possible. Be aware though that if the hardware breaks you neither have your machines online nor your backup at hand.
You don't need another system disk for pbs, just install it via APT.
