HDD

[Wolfram Huesken]

You could mount the filesystem as read-only and use a ramdisk for the 
partitions that need write access
like /tmp or /var.
You also would prevent your CF-Card from damage because you cannot 
perform unlimited io operations on that card.

I've already tested this with a kind of embedded appliance that acts as 
a router.
