Default usb flash

Can I use a USB flash drive to store my pst file instead of my hard disk?
I have Office 2003

Probably but it would be quite slow since Flash drives tend to be slower
than hard drives and they're also not usuable an infinite number of times (a
large amount but not infinite).

one concern is if the flash drive comes loose - an open pst is easily
corrupted. I haven't had problems using an SD card with an archive pst - the
reader is built into my laptop, not attached via USB, so it won't come
loose.
