Can the staging area be an external hard drive?

I'm trying to restore a message from exchange that is backed up to tape.
The information store is 62GB and I don't have that much free space on the hard drive.
 
So Can I use a external usb drive for the staging area? I don't see why not it's a local disk and is formatted as NTFS but it's not working.

Were you able to get this resolved? I am having the same problem and was thinking about trying the USB key as well. Thanks for the assistance

I've never tried it, but the way the manual read, It is an NTFS volume conneced directluy to the meida server], right  Evern with USB 2.0, you may not be real plaesed with the throughput, it it out to work
