My Preference is the transcend IDE flash drives. Ultra reliable and fairly inexpresive. Both versions run from RAM. You cant upgrade the CDROM without rewriting the image. I also don't think you can install any packages to it. Just my 2 cents > Ryan

Hi, I'm trying to decide whether to go with a hard drive install or a CDROM install of pfSense. I haven't found anything that specifies what features are different between the two installations. What are the pros and cons of going with a hard drive versus a CDROM-based install? Is there a routing performance or memory hit with the CDROM version? Can the CDROM version save logs, RRD graphs, etc. to a floppy, or will this information be lost after a reboot? Does anyone have a strong preference either way, and why? I'd appreciate any input.
