Abstract
CDF (collider detector at Fermilab) silicon vertex detector consists of three subdetectors: SVX-II, ISL and L00. Altogether it consists of 8 layers of silicon with more than 720,000 readout channels. This detector is essential for CDF's high precision tracking. It is also vital for the forward tracking capabilities and the identification of heavy flavour decays. After four years of data taking in run-II and a delivered luminosity of more than 1.2 fb-1, a summary of the operational experiences with a silicon detector at CDF is given. Besides being very important for the tracking, the silicon detector also plays a vital role in level 2 decision of the CDF trigger system. Finally, aspects of the longevity of this detector and the impact on the CDF physics programme are presented
