Is there a particular reason to prefer FLASH over a 2.5" HD other than noise level?

My understand is that CompactFlash cards will NEVER be as good as a real hard drive because they arent designed for the kind of random access that hard drives are.  Im therefore puzzled why people bother considering many 2.5" drives are almost silent.  

The birds outside are more noisy than my A1200 with 2.5" HD.

Does anyone REALLY live somewhere quiet enough for it to matter?  PCs are too noisy even the quietest ones are, the Amiga really isnt.
