I'm running my Bering LEAF firewall on a CF card through an IDE adaptor.  It's 
certainly more shock proof than a hard drive but I'm not sure of what type of 
environment you're looking at.

CF cards allow only a limited number of write cycles so if you're going to be 
writing a lot of data you might be out of luck.  LEAF by default never writes 
to the HDD so I'm not too worried about that aspect.
