Note that you don't have to use the default location; you may put them anywhere. There is a catch though that's worth mentioning: if you open a pst file, even for reading, its modification date will be changed, i.e. if you have any kind of automated backup solution it will detect all pst files as "changed" if you've done as much as opened them in Outlook... Imagine several gigs of pst files with daily backup... so best if you put them in a directory that's excluded from backup, plus keep the originals somewhere safe.
