That's right. Two save files, results.txt, help & license files and both Windows and Linux binaries use about 20 MB on my HDD. And there is a way to prevent results.txt from growing too fast, if needed (ResultsFileIterations).
Files are not written often enough to cause a problem with "wearing out" flash memory within the normal lifetime of the system, and access speed should not be an issue - especially with newer pen drives supporting USB v2.
One can set prime95 to write save files less often, if necessary (DiskWriteTime).
