Don't forget that a CF-card has limited writes... after a time you will get "hot-spots"... So If you use it, try to limit the times you write to the CF-card as much as possible
Each block of Flash can be written millions of times, it will last YEARS even if you use it as your main harddrive.
Nevertheless, there are CF cards available that have a virtualization chip that randomizes writes across the entire CF card in order to minimize the effect.
Fortunately CF will never lose its data or become inaccessible, so even if you can't write to it anymore, you can just copy the data to a fresh CF card.
