Flash lasts longer in my experience. Besides, assuming one
doesn't wish to load Bloatware 2.5 on a router, a "big enough"
flash drive is rather inexpensive. Even if it were $100 extra,
the lack of moving parts is a good thing.
Everything that you say one can do from a CDROM, one can do from
flash. CDROM technology gains you nothing.
