SD cards mainly degrade on writes, not on reads. Large capacity cards are great for storing roms. The smaller capacity cards can be utilized nicely for configuration files, savegames, etc.
I have a couple of those of similar vintage sitting around somewhere, not sure the capacity (one was low enough that I laughed when I popped it out of the device it came with). I have tried to get all of my older computers and such eating the same thing to help cut costs, and CF seems to be ideal, other than some of the high prices for low capacity cards. Unfortunately at some point it seems many people decided to start using SD (Everdrive and others). I have been stockpiling reliable ones for each of those, so maybe not as much of a problem as I was having several years ago when keeping everything original, or even when I first started using CF for everything. Since this stockpile consists of a mix of full size and microSD, I hope the adapters last. I have a mini or two as well, which was also a bit of a headache to source since I didn't start looking until after those evaporated. I may get rid of the single device I have that uses miniSD, as I don't use it or have any plans for it, and I can get an Everdrive for my GBA to replace the cart that uses miniSD.
...but at least it has a write protect switch), and a few 8MB SanDisk and Canon CF cards.
That's the class 10 guarantee surely? According to amazon, they don't quote an actual sequential write speed (or any other write speed), so all we know if that it'll bee at least 10MB/s (if I'm remembering how the SD class system works properly).
