    Yup. Take backups, have spares, and keep it off the Internet and it’ll work just fine.

    Pro tip, you can get IDE to CF adapters if you want to put an SSD in those old machines to really see them fly. Just be aware that they don’t have nearly as good write durability as a real SSD, so keep write heavy operations on the HDD.

      You can get industrial grade CF cards that use SLC memory. They have much better write endurance than normal CF cards.
