    Hi,

            I'm developping an (among other things) data logging application. I've
    been planning to use compact flash as storage medium, to eliminate heat
    and moving parts of hard drive ( the system will live in environments
    with vibration ).

            I am aware of problems with limited write cycles in CF, but I think a
    sandisk industrial CF should last me several years.
            However, I recently read that powering off the machine will the CF is
    writing can kill the card. Is this true for all controllers ?

            I'm using an advantech 5820.

    thanks
    Ricardo
