The downside to using SD and friends for this is SD supposedly has less write endurance and worse wear leveling than a proper SSD. I have no idea if this is true. The upside to using CF is CF is electrically compatible with IDE, so you don't have a IDE/SATA bridge that can cause compatibility issues and is a point of failure.

It'd be a shame if they had a lower bytes written capability, but a non-existent/poor/simple wear leveling algorithm wouldn't hurt them in their typical usage pattern. Might be worth looking into whether eMMC makes different assumptions considering its prevalence as primary storage for mobile devices.
