In the range of Soekris net45xx boxes  that I run 24x7 for several years
now, I have used SanDisk CF  exclusively: 32/64/128/256 MB sizes, all of
those being the low-range slow ones (nothing Ultra or Ultra II/III).

I haven't  had a single  failure since. One  card even went  through the
full program  in the  washing machine and  is still in  use 24x7.  But I
admit that the cards are usually mounted read-only.

Once,  I came  across some  very cheap  Apacer CF  cards, but  they were
complete rubbish - I couldn't even get them to work in my digital camera
(Nikon Coolpix 950 at that time), so I returned them immediately.

Cheers,

Edwin
