There are some fundamental differences:

1) Ferro has read and write speeds in the nanosecond range.
2) Ferro is destructive on both reads and writes unlike Flash. So you can wear
Ferro out by reading it too many times. However endurances are topping the
one trillion read/write range on some parts.

So which part you use depends on how you are going to use it.
