Most CF have a limited number of writes that they will tolerate. That
number has been going up as the technology matures, but I would still
expect a regular HD to tolerate more RW cycles.
The same issue exists with SSD, but the better ones will recognize when
a cell is reaching its life limit, and have alternate cell locations to
switch to (active sparing).

Hi Josh,
wondering which one has a better MTBF with R/W access. I was wondering
why the compactflash dies, it was not for the temperature because it
was in a PowerRouter so the other option is that it died because of
the R/W operations
So I was wondering if a HD would last longer simply because it is
assumed that it will do R/W operations all the time.
My worry is if the CompactFlash will live forever or not.
Also: in what I got I found a normal CompactFlash, I used the Sandisk
Ultra in the past in the outdoor and we got no issue in the past.
By the way: I lost the routeros that was installed/shipped with the
powerRouter I am not sure I can recover the license.. :/
Anybody has a clue regaring that?
Thank you
CompactFlash. No moving parts. Why get a mechanical disk?

Hi All
my PowerRouter stopped working and after checking, I realized the
problem
is that the compact flash brutally died.
So now I have to take a decision on what I should use as storage. Now
considering that the PowerRouter has also the possibility to store
data on
a 2.5" HD, I was wondering which one is the best in terms of MTBF (and
routeros stability).... CompactFlash or HD?
Let me know what you think
Regards
Paolo
