      Dear sirs. Should I use an SSD, SD card, CF card, for my pfsense OS?

      Thank you.

        You can use any of those if your hardware will boot from them.
        Be aware that flash media has limited write cycles though.
        If you choose to run from CF you should disable SWAP during the install and enable RAM disks after the first boot to limit drive writes.

          Thank you. Does pfsense have a read-only mode?

          Thank you, sir.
