I got the impression that NAND-based Compact Flash can only support sequential operation, but it faster anb higher capacity than the earlier NOR based flash, the later of which support random access operation. For this reason, the operating systems are usually using the NOR based flash. I believe the 64GB from Samsung is the NAND-based flash, hence not suitable for operating systems.
