Coming to Compact Flash card, if this card failed then Controller will enable write-through mode which results in reduced I/O performance. MSA vdisk or volume information stored in drive metadata so there is no issue if you replace CF cards and no configuration will be lost. Please find the link to get CF card Spare part number,
