In m0n0wall, the card only gets read on boot. It is only written to on configuration saves, and upgrades. You may want a similar configuration for your OpenBSD as CF memory has a limited number of writes. (In the thousands) In that case, I would go cheap, and get several, rather than fast. It just is not needed often enough to justify it. Lee |
